statement
The 'Life Drawing' series (they are in fact paintings) are made through a simple procedure that of placing as many figures as possible, without any of them touching, onto arectangle.
The paintings are 'gravity neutral' as the figures are not all the same way up; the pictures are develop organically with each figure finding its own space as the paper or canvas is rotated. There is,as a consequence, no single right way up for the paintings. It is inevitable, however, that however the pictures are displayed, they could be read as falling with whatever implications come with that.
