Sometimes the pasted paper on paper feels confining.
The pen needs to go where it wants to go with nothing to prevent the flow of the ink.
So it is just a drawing. Just.

Sometimes a sketch is in order
The landscape features most prominently in the body of my work. It is a landscape of suggestion, rather than a faithful figurative rendering; it is a landscape of fiction and abstraction. Major influences on my work have been the Canadian landscape, the tropical forest of the Congo and the land of the Mediterranean/Middle East. Born in Exeter, Ontario,I studied at the University of Prince Edward Island, McGill University in Montreal and the Université du Québec à Trois Rivières.
I always ask one question; when does the unconventional become so utterly conventional as to become uninteresting - dull in fact? I hope these are not dull whatever else they are. Let me know what you think.

I love how you are integrating thought with your drawings. It is almost like a poem in which the images and the words create a rhythm. Yep. I am liking it! And I like the thought of being able to transcend the limitations imposed by edges and preconceived pathways by allowing the ink to go where it will. Wherever it leads your hand.
