Working in the indoor environment of a studio that is shared by other artists, has sounds from outside, from the businesses above, from inside its own walls,....with patterns of movement my myself and others, ....areas of activity,....repeated activity....

I wanted to explore through drawing what I could sense in our studio. And what was to be perceived from the confines of my drawing board, as I shared it with the drawing in the making.
So I assigned myself to draw stood or sat on the drawing board, for two hours, not leaving the space. Whenever 'the next moment marked itself out through a change in the environment, I made another 'marker'. A marker to provide a focus and platform for my own attention but also to mark the moment in its very individuality.
I learn so much in these two hours. About myself, respect for what there is, what could be. It made me all humble. I focussed on my drawing task, under duress at times, because it got hard to remain inside my pre-described area of the drawing board. But exactly that focus also provided to be a window into something beyond that has to do not only with art and perception but life as such. What a rewarding time to be spent on a piece of plasterboard....
