Large Drawings
This gallery wasn’t conceived as a group. They were drawn in two distinct periods separated by over twenty years. The first five were drawn in 1984-5, the remaining eleven in 2007-10.
Deep recessive space is present in many along with the isolation of a single figure or form.
Death is a persistant theme but this is more about the “death of self” in the brain than death of the body.
