'When you follow the movements of a football across a flat TV screen you sometimes have the sensation that the ball is going in a certain direction when it turns out to have a different arc altogether and ends up at the feet of a different player than you had first thought. Its true movements are hidden by the flatness of the screen until it arrives at some particular part of the pitch. This same kind of sensation sometimes happens while drawing, when you attempt to compress the sight and touch of a solid object onto various parts of a flat surface'.

Claude Heath, Statement, Centre for Drawing, October 2001

How to work with the transition between depth and flatness is the underlying context for the works represented on this website - how and why to draw plants, landscapes, or galaxies, by whatever methods are chosen, whether using touching fingers, eyes, or developmental three-dimensional digital drawing tools. The main aim is to stay in as close touch as possible to what is being drawn.
