DAYS (1999)
A series of works on paper based on diary pages
When I was Course Director of B.A. Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, colleagues would often look over my shoulder and remark on the colorful and apparently chaotic scribblings in my work diary. I explained that each crossing out of a completed task was a small moment of graphic celebration. I also realized that I was subject to some fundamental mark-making impulse and compelled to draw within the gaps in my administrative workload - a kind of inadvertent art making. I scanned some of the pages with a magnifying glass and selected one-inch squares of graphically interesting sections, which I enlarged and made into 12" by 12" computer prints.
