JAMES NUNN
Drawing is at the core of my work. Like an excavation, starting a drawing is like uncovering something already there. On an abstract level I am interested in the fundamental act of mark-making and my subject matter, predominantly the natural world, is simply something to hang the marks on.
Each piece is an exploration of the drawing surface and the stuff that makes the mark, be it ink, charcoal, pastel or whatever comes to hand. In the process of printmaking the metaphor is extended as I literally cut away the surface to create the image. I love the process and the uncertainty of what will be revealed. However clear one’s intentions, there are always surprises.
