Thoughts Made Flesh
Thoughts Made Flesh is a series of large scale drawings each depicting the human form ‘embodying’ a thought or state of mind.Painstakingly crafted, each drawing stands at a staggering 2.5 meters high. The drawings feature me, the artist, and are made using a combination of photography and real life study. Whether cowering in the shadows or staring directly out at the viewer each form is coaxed from the darkness using a traditional combination of pencil and rubber. Standing tall like institutional pillars they collectively represent the captivity we suffer through thinking.
'Made Flesh No.3' is featured at www.artkudos.com as part of their year long exhibtion 2009.

Though each of these drawings is based around a particular thought, the thought itself is of little importance to me merely what I was dealing with at the time but they represent any thought and the process itself. As this thought is made flesh, made physical, its particular qualities become meaningless and its very presence becomes all.
