These are a few examples from a series of sculptures examining the language of mark making. Rather than expressing something through the act of painting or drawing I take a step backwards. The objects for painting and drawing are the sculptures themselves. They are not made to be literally used. They already are the expression of what they are designed to express.
The notion of mental preparation and self awareness before and during the act of creating (particularly associated with the Japanese arts, and calligraphy) is reflected in my use of ornate handles, acting as a signifier of value and mindfulness.
