About:

A collection of drawings exploring the material qualities of graphite, ink, ink washes, acrylics and oil pastels... A small sample of drawing investigations of different approaches to various subject content (not necessarily forming a narrative nor relating to each other in subject matter). These drawings represent a range of attempts at realistic depiction of form and formlessness... the simple line...
