Carbon Essence Drawing 38
This series of work inspired by sound seem like paintings but can also be viewed as drawings. The carbon material, bitumen paint has been drawn out of itself to bring out its truer nature, its essential or primordial forms. They come across as images or abstractions but are in actual fact the real material and could be viewed as very thin drawn sculptures.
This piece appeared in the 'Saatchi Your Gallery Group Show - Lost and Found' exhibition at Bricklane Gallery , London 2007
