Drawing explains the world to me. By tracing with the pencil, I can understand nature and rediscover it again and again through imaginative forms that generalise the visible.
My drawings explore and capture nature and the natural world. From brief moments to lengthy observations. Everything stands out or stands out in a peculiar way.
