Sketchbooks are a very important part of my practice. It is where the work begins, usually small and on paper. I make my own books, tearing the paper to leave rough edges, stitching and glueing the pages together. This gives me wider possibilities, the books have many layers and I use collage, gesso, ink materials. They are a resource for the paintings.
The sketchbooks have been shown as part of Rabley Drawing Gallery's SKETCH exhibition (2011, 2019).
