About the work
When I’m away from my studio and travelling, I still want to keep working. Over the years I have developed a series where I find locally sourced paper and pick up found objects unique to a place and use them to literally reveal themselves as a drawing. A small box of watercolours is easy to pack, and the paint’s fluidity maps facets, divots, and undulations. I spent the last months of 2020 in Rome, and one of the city’s ubiquitous black basalt cobblestones, a ‘sanpietrino’ (little St Peter’s) gives the form to this image.
