A suite of drypoint prints undergoing slow accretion of new imagery. I could define drawing as a kind of psychotopography. The notion came from my interest in the Sublime, particularly Sublime landscapes and my experience of them. I'm terrified of heights and vast space, which is why later in life I took up rock climbing and mountaineering as best I could considering neurotic limitations. Psychotopography, to me, revolves around the notion that topography effects the psyche, that drawing is topographical, and that drawing is also psychotopography and effects the psyche, and that drawers are psychotopographers. The prints attempt to recreate a visceral 19th century sensibility from my own excursions in the hills of Vancouver Island combined with experiences of art history.
