Drawing and photography are central to my practice. Both make pressing - if sometimes fictitious - claims to the capture of lost moments.

Traces: early morning

I've left in a bit of the following page in the scan, used to take down notes yesterday,  as this was the first notebook to hand.

Time

No time yesterday, just a scribble on the back of an envelope in my bag...


marker pen on back of envelope.

Bric a brac

I managed to avoid accumulating more clutter for our home, but visiting friends were seduced by an odd, art-deco-ish three-tier cake stand at a market stall. The lavender added a lovely whiff of ye olde to the stall. The drawing looks flat, as if the whole thing were a printed pattern... that was unintentional!

Bracelet in same position, same viewing angle, different sketchbook. I think I've made A. look too old...

On the glass table

Brush marker and pencil crayon, with a touch of black ink pen in Moleskine sketchbook.

These four shells and the telephone were among the clutter on my glass desktop. I started the drawing using a black contour liner for the phone, and then decided that wasn't what I wanted to use after all, so it's a bit of a mish-mash.

Soldiers


Brush markers, pencil crayons and watercolour in Windsor and Newton sketchbook. And lipstick on tissue.

Very early and very quick. Tidying the bathroom cupboard, I lined up all these soldiers. There are only two of these that I actually use (she said defensively).

Camera

Ink pen, brush marker and watercolour in Moleskine sketchbook.

I take hundreds of photos, but only yesterday did I think of drawing my camera. Yesterday's drawing didn't come out very well - I liked the marks, but then the camera looked crumpled and curved, like it was hunching its shoulders (in shyness, someone said!) so this is a second attempt.  The angles are still a bit wrong, but let's say it's expressive!

Lost and found

I'm always misplacing things like bags and phones and keys and sunglasses. Sound familiar anyone? The paper's buckled because I've used watercolour and the paper's a bit too thin for that.
