“Body and Soul sits between picture book and sketchbook, these drawings made over many days, weeks and years. My sketchbooks seldom record what is in front of me, more often it is a stream of consciousness, free-form, freethinking, unstructured, of the moment, quick ideas and visiual jotting. Often my sketchbooks are incomplete, sometimes I will return to old ones. 

Frequently I work on individual sheets on paper, in sequence, each one informing the next and having the feel of a pictue book. But, unlike working in a book, where there is a chronological order, I have the opportunity to take pages out and change the order.

The choice of materials can be random, usually what I have to hand. In the sketchbook there is no pressure, playing with materals and images ot see what happens and where it takes me.”
