I am a visual artist living and working on Gadigal land in inner city Sydney, Australia. My drawing practice is an exploration of forms of thinking, feeling and knowing. I draw while walking as a distinctive strategy that brings perception and visualisation to the forefront. What do I know of my surroundings in the moment of encounter and how is this shaped by memory? My drawings, therefore, are not about things or places or myself but about the relational space between them and the energy created in the interstitial.
Drawing is an economical process well suited to transferring one reality into another, the transference is immediate. Walking mostly at night without a prescribed route, I am a human seismograph, a proprioceptive device moving in space while responding to my surroundings. I walk and draw with both hands while wearing a harness to hold my drawing board and carrying drawing materials in my pockets. The marks I make are unmediated and unexpected, a direct reflection of my sensorial attentiveness and presence in the world.
I capture my walks using a backwards-facing camera that records where I have been. These videos are drawings posted to YouTube.
