'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
The works on this website are all related to drawing. In particular, how its processes meet with its subject matter. There are drawings of heads, plants, landscapes, and galaxies, for example, all of which are carried out with methods that are chosen for their element of unpredictabilty and their capacity to find new things out.
These drawing techniques might be to touch an object, and to draw with a biro, while blindfolded; or to use ones eyes to scan a plant like fingertips might do. Most recently, this investigation has led to the use of new technology: digital drawing tools which record freehand drawing movements made in three-dimensional spaces.
