Submission Drawing

In Skins and Shadows

These drawings live outside a defined space or time, often floating in the realm of women, in a place where we can embrace darkness in order to let go, or harness its power to take to battle in the real world. Using a combination of intricate line work, and blended ink, the process is a balance of meticulous control—debatably obsession—and letting go. Loyal to the natural and the supernatural, with human nature at the centre, everything here is connected and intertwined; hands, used for their expressiveness, and serpents, which are often perceived as evil, but hold ties to the Earth Mother, creative energy, water, and the underworld. I deal with our anxieties and our fantasies, and most simply, with feelings. A sense of touch is important, and a sense of humour is always there, sometimes hiding in the shadows with our demons.
