Title: Inside

This work is based on a gum tree near my childhood home. While drawing the many images, I became interested in the repetitive mark marking of my own hand, especially the minuscule lines and scrapings that are often overlooked.

As drawing is presupposed to be invented or imagined, I began to wonder if these unknown, or partially known, stray marks, had a “meaning” within themselves. If by just following my own hand I would allow this single line to discover its own logic.

And to ask is it still a tree?
