Title

Rest, darling –

(I am dreaming more)

Details

380 x 278mm  

2025, Charcoal, soft pastel on paper

Process

This drawing is one of six exhibited in Poems for Independence at Braemar Gallery in 2025 as a series of visual 'poems for Indy' - a gentle way of personifying 'independence' and what it means to me.

 

The series shares a scaffold of line work that brings to mind sheet music or architectural working drawings, providing a recurring structure to experiment with text and gestural marks.

 

This particular work is about all the personal types of rest that we might need: rest from responsibility; deep rest in our bodies; rest from trying.
