The physical process of putting marks on paper with graphite is distinctly personal as it is a link to my dad who first instilled in me the pure joy of drawing. It has been an important part of my life ever since and, based
on purposely-shot photography, my drawings increasingly explore the atmospheric effects of reflected light in everyday situations.
