Nocturnes
Every year I lead students drawing in the dark on a course I run at West Dean College called Liminal Light, the next will be held 1st – 4th December 2022. Over a span of ten years a body of work has come together that I have been reworking as collages by cannibalising previous years drawings into new amalgams. Revisiting and reworking previous processes and imagery has been a source of great creative stimulation during the last couple of years.
