'One and a Half Crayons; the Thouet River, Airvault France' 
Set of drawings from one A2 Sketchpad entitled
Completed during August 2011, they assimilated themselves as a series of triptychs and diptychs drawn at the same place (at the same time of day) but using a kind of 'surround space' observation.
I am interested in the Romance of the Primeval Wilderness and in drawing flowing water. The limestone boulders were so old that they had been eroded by the flowing water and had tree and plant roots fossilized in them.

'Hedge, Raft, Nest'
1m x 1.5m, soluble pencil on hosho paper.
An experimental drawing. Staring at a hedge while thinking about something completely different I drew on both sides of the paper and allowed the water-soluble pencil to seep through to the drawing on the other side. I was interested in loss, of detail, meaning and control.

Stephanie Black and Orla O’Carroll
dimensions: 450cm x 55cm
mixed media collaborative drawing on lining paper.
 
"Orla O'Carroll and Stephanie Black have been drawing collaboratively for two years, and the drawings on show are their shared contribution to the exhibition. The drawing process began with them politely taking turns to draw, and developed into the simultaneous blind drawings exhibited here. Everything produced using this method is something of a gamble, and without looking at the paper a great deal they have produced this pictorial race where only the fittest can survive."

‘Kefalonia’
60cm x 215 cm, graphite on Fabriano, torn and collaged prior to drawing.
Inspired by boat journey on the First of August. The landscape rose from the sea; layer upon layer of peaks stacking up towards the highest point Mt Aenos. The quick mark making in my sketchbook had character and the potential to be scaled up.
