artist statement
The making of a single line which immediately implies the divide between ground and ‘not-ground’ and the ontological contrast of mark and non-mark, is where intent resides and the experience of mark-making begins.
The line, the mark, the scrawl, the scratch, the grapheme, the trace, the scribble, the drawing, the graphic; at once delineated and designed, spontaneous and considered.
Graphicality is evoked within this body of work as a quality of line, an explicitly diagrammatic, painted, written, formed, designed and drawn mark. These works refers to that graphical line and the shapes circumscribed and explored by it – particularly the rhizome.
In contrast to their non-linear structure, rhizomatic spaces are denoted and connoted by a literal and conceptual graphic line within the works. Expanded and contracted in scribed and meandering marks, these lines are taken for Klee’s proverbial walk within the rhizome.

Graphicality is a bit of a precursor to the PhD exhibition and a chance to give some of the pieces a little outing before then...
