Burnt Wood Wall Drawings

‘I like the ephemeral qualities of the Burnt Wood Wall Drawings and the primitive elemental aspects of drawing directly on the wall with hot smouldering ash. I also like the immediacy of these drawings – there is no going back, no rubbing out – you only have one chance and you have to get it right’.
