My intention in creating this work was to use non-conventional materials to explore line and mark making, demonstrating the act of drawing as a process rather than a medium. Therefore, I was not constructing an object and did not start with a vision of the end result. The formation of a continuous line through the process of cutting around a rectangle of black construction paper until it was exhausted was intended to give the work its meaning.

​

I also wanted the process of the making to be evident - there was to be nothing hidden from the viewer. The use of such base materials as masking tape, staples, construction paper and drafting film provides an honesty in the work.

​

There is no right way to view this work - no top or bottom, front or back. The viewer can decide.

The first work on this page was a finalist in the Parkin Drawing Prize, 2018.
