Drawing is an integral part of my practice, it’s where I draw out my ideas, progress and finished narrative.

I draw my found objects, collected, thrown away toys, dolls, textiles, I choose these by way of serendipity. I see a narrative, it’s often fictitious, however I choose what I feel will convey meaning into my pieces.

This piece started out from the stone, (on the top right hand corner) I made several of these for a performance with the Wrexham Art school on Paris Mountain in Anglesey, I kept one back. I worked on this in my sketchbook the following picture shows the result

This is the resulting experiment, I have not worked this way before, from scratch be that it was not intentional. This piece is not yet resolved.

I was given a bag of broken plastic dolls, some had no limbs and arms and legs were missing others just had arms missing, I decided that I would cocoon these with natural wool, a waddling but also a layer to add other layers.

This is overworked and does not possess the qualities I want in my drawings, I wanted to work out how to draw Trauma this is where I am at the moment trying out different approaches, some won’t work and it’s part of the process.
