Works on paper remain important, because it offers me speed and a freedom to explore while eliminating the precious, and also suits my small studio. Included in this group are a couple that were offshoots from my Uni subjects, using chance and by-product elements. My concerns for the environment were brought to the surface again, this time in a group exhibition ‘Everyone’s Backyard’, with our studio group.
