Oil on board. 300mm sq

Stitching into canvas, drawing with threads, some machine, mostly hand.
Current body of work exploring Dartmoor and the Merrivale Stones, the grasses and the landscape.

Life drawing. Looking forward to drawing @marianomodelovivo.bsky.social again next week. It’s been too long….

Detail of drawing above, collaging in a section from an old, linen backed Bartholomew’s map, showing (or buried in this case), the exact location of Merrivale Stones, Dartmoor.

Gesso, charcoal, chalk, graphite.

Another drawing in the body of work inspired by bleak Dartmoor, the ancient stones and determined grasses.
