This series of drawings comes from my love of black and white and its documentary austerity. The recognizable content is the garden and the land, the emotional feeling is atmospheric and photographic: images waited for and honed, sought on long walks through real time and memory. I use the camera as an aid to focusing my mind, but the images here are done after the photographs are thrown in a drawer, and emerge from a process of improvisation.
