The Mind Gardens

The Mind Garden Series, focused on process over any particular theme. Began as improvised biro drawing sessions in notebooks. The drawings began to grow in scale. Moving from sheets of paper to shop bought canvas and beyond. Masochistically scratching through 100s of pens in the process. Creating in Introspect, a rather alien look at my subconscious across a collection of surreal and playful drawings.

Heavily influenced by Miró and his quotes, after visiting the Joan Miró foundation as a kid. Both the Mind Garden title and my general studio practice, relates and is inspired by his quote… “I think of my studio as a vegetable garden, where things follow their natural course…”
