This work emerged from a multi-layered process, beginning with the overlapping of forms sketched during drawing walks. I allowed these initial shapes to interact and shift, creating the structural foundation of the piece. I then started to build up the texture of the drawing, smudging charcoal and exploring different forms of mark making. 

This abstract, fractured landscape became a springboard for my imagination. This paper work was in conversation with other cardboard works in the studio, where re-occuring charecters and motifs overlapped, forming an expressive and surreal visual language.
