I am an African artist working in clay. I have never felt the need to make drawings before making , the origin of my work is not cerebral , the origin is in my hands.

However I sometimes make drawings of my work after they have been fired because  I feel the need to capture their  journey.

From making to firing , sometimes 3 or 4 times per piece , is a long journey which changes the work I make in ways I can’t know. Ink brush on paper rendering  is a similar journey of hand eye, ink brush and paper.

I use Hakame and Japanese brushes as I can load varying volumes of ink and depending on hand pressure to paper , angle of brush and speed of movement , achieve a feeling which my work evokes in me. Lots of open and undefined space around the brush strokes removes ego from the process, alllowing the collector/ observer room / space to explore how the image makes them feel. How we see in it something of our own. 

I also make these renderings because for some collectors including myself , the 2 dimemtional is as profound as the 3 dimensional expression. 

I hope these renderings find a meaningful place in your life , something to view and ponder on , which may reflect back to you a different time line. A space or pause in your life which offers potential.
