Bush

A durational graphite drawing where organic density, restraint, and repetition form an eroded field of attention.

“Bush is built through sustained graphite accumulation, where repetition becomes both labour and record. The drawing holds tension between density and breathing room: intricate marks gather into an organic, lace-like surface while areas of high-key white remain active as pause, light, and resistance. Its forms suggest growth, rot, passageway, thicket, and hallucination without resolving into any single image. As a precursor to Threshold, the work clarifies how drawing can hold ambiguity through pressure, time, and controlled instability.”
