This composite drawing 3.0x1.80m was drawn upside down from an original quick sketch made in Spain.
It was inspired after seeing a series of paintings by Georg Baselitz, collectively known as 'The Inverted Motif'. By fracturing and inversion, the original motif which we would expect to recognize is dispelled and meaning re-interpreted.

The drawing evolved back and forth over several weeks via a rigorous additive and reductive process.
This involved charcoal and graphite, erasers, sandpaper, scalpel, Dremmel, water, white spirit and fixative.

The ten individual 90x60cm drawings were then dis-assembled and remounted on the wall at random.
The image became a new drawing with a different personality. This process was repeated and recorded several times. The charcoal drawings were then distressed to produce a series of further works.

Some of these follow and illustrate the often unseen part of the artists creative process forming a years work.
