abstract

3 yrs ago, I was living in a small studio apartment in Dubai, and my kitchen was so small but I loved cooking there. I loved keeping my kitchen organized. The doodle is a reflection of the love I had for my kitchen :)

Abstract line drawing while thinking about the different rock formations found in caves, cliffs, hills and those in my rock collection.

Taking a break from the abstract to sketch the Grevilleas growing in the backyard.

Stairs and buildings in an abstract, geometric city.

Back in the studio after taking the weekend off. Experimenting with adding colour and bolder lines.

Continuing to make works that create feelings of movement using line.

I generally make marks on something every day, but I'm really TRYING to do it purposefully in one single journal at a time. I also have super ADHD, which means I pretty much never go up to my actual studio and usually only use what's out on my desk, because out-of-sight-out-of-mind.

The creative demon possessing me at the time must’ve either been Mark E. Smith or Radiohead’s ‘Hail To The Thief’ shaped, judging by the lyrics of this one..

I do like a good mondegreen, that much is true. See the radio edit of Royksopp’s ‘Remind Me’ for more details (I might not be mishearing the lyrics, but it’s still quite the earworm): https://youtu.be/XEQcWbbkyPY
