You left me shimmering,
bristling stormless, like ash, like age.
Wide open hearts love, flaring.

Process
This drawing explores one of four elements that have reoccured in my recent works, in this case: the body, exposed and expansive. This also connects to the cruciform or tau ('T') form that appears in many of my recent works.
These elements hold a kind of mystery, and become motifs that gather meaning for me - and others I hope - over time without being explicit.
These works used charcoal handmade by myself (using feijoa offcuts from my hometown), and Bryden Williams (using locally sourced timber varieties).
