‘Languishing’ on 80x120cms 240gsm black card

I was fortunate to be one of the finalists for the 2021 Parkin Drawing Prize. Part of the entry form requests was to explain what the work represented, this is what I wrote.

My artwork started as a sketch for a collage.

It soon began to resonate much more on a personal level, both as a result of the last year (Covid) and as to how that has affected me as an artist, sometimes isolated, lacking motivation, my self-doubt, and the artists journey of exploration.
