Into the Flow 25x25cm mixed media on 300gsm paper, 
In this series I went back to raw mark-making using charcoal and ink with a large Japanese calligraphy brush. combined with my love of composition and design, these pieces have a natural and raw flow to them.

I feel there is a certain vulnerability in this  but I think it’s necessary in abstraction.  As I  peel back the layers  to look within and find just what it is I and the painting want to say visually. 

 I also love the rawness, the simple tones of black, white with some gold to highlight.    I don’t have to overthink it I can just let things flow in a meditative way and they have a great sense of freedom, and yet power  in them.
