- Ideas come when you least expect them. If a thought were an expected visitor to your mind, and came knocking by appointment, would it even be an idea at all? For the thought to be an idea it has to disturb, to unsettle, like a gust of wind ruflling through a heap of leaves. You may have been waiting for it, but it still comes as a surprise. Those, however, who aim to get from A to B as quickly as possible have no time to wait. For them, the idea is an unwelcome guest, threatening to throw them off course, if not with losing thier way altogehter. Yet were it not for ideas, we’d be trapped -

From work to work, I realise that I am interested in liminal things, those which occupy disregarded boundaries, and that can easily remain hidden. Their importance intact, unaffected by others’ awareness. These invisible drawings are only unveiled by curiosity and engagement. Their formal qualites, secondary to their discovery. Their duration temporary.
