The subject matter of my work is people: their behaviour, mannerisms and relationships; the many layers of meaning and understanding that exist between people. Often, drawings have taken the form of conspiratorial groups which can contain aggression, constraint and vulnerability. Individuals fondle, throttle, encourage and restrain each other.

The use of exaggeration to emphasise a feeling or an action, as in comics and cartoons, is evident, as is the use of gesture to imply movement. There is a strong sense of narrative in these works, underpinned by humour which can be used to diffuse sometimes painful situations. Some of these pastel drawings are like battlegrounds dealing with the psychological and the overly dramatic.
