2006 Making Worlds

Making Worlds developed without a preconceived plan. I would sit down and draw whatever came to mind. At the time, I described this as working from the hidden centre of the mind. Figures, landscapes and forms appeared, disappeared and returned in different guises. The worlds emerged intuitively and continued to grow from one another. It was only years later, when I placed the works in chronological order, that I saw a coherence that had completely escaped me while I was making them.

With Loving Nature, the first completed work of Making Worlds emerged in 2008. From there, the series continued to develop.

The story behind Making Worlds and what I discovered in the works years later can be found in the artist’s book True Blue.
