graphite & watercolour/30x20cm
Being the latest in the slowly-evolving sequence of drawings representing, on an exact, measured 1:1 scale, the subject/object matter of folded, creased & crumpled sheets of A4 paper.
On this particular occasion, the object was subjected to a light crumpling in its folded state, resulting, when subsequently unfolded, in the formation of something of the nature of repeating & 'mirrored' patterns occurring upon & across the textured surface, within & in addition to the regular cells of the grid into which the folded paper becomes creased, an inadvertent 'decorative' element further compromising, as described tonally by the action of observed natural light, the 'blankness' of the white sheet.
This accidental complexity of the low-relief surface resulted in a most laboriously- & slowly-processed drawing, realised during the course of the sessions on the 6 available working days within an extended, 'compromised' total of 13, due to the prevailing available natural light conditions of the season: such a working process seems untenable, & therefore thought is required as to exactly what might now be feasible in terms of continuing work at this dark & 'inefficient' time of year - the 'blanks', one fears, are very much on hold as the days draw inexorably in yet further...
