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

London

I was quite taken by Marina Grechanik's drawing process at the Lisbon symposium - I'd always loved her drawings, but like Ea Ejersbo, I loved seeing her work - especially the free use of watercolour pencils. So a whole lot of us learned some lessons from Marina! This sketch was done having a coffee at Carluccio's on St Christopher's Place in London - with its very peculiar and pretty useless fountain.

Quickly

I loved Monica and Eduardo's workshop on movement, which was based at Cais de Sodré in Lisbon. My drawings could have been done anywhere, though - I'm now sorry I didn't anchor the figures in space a little more! These are very quick and rough and some of them done without looking at the page.
