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.
