About the work

Haze Luxe is one of a series of drawings on graph paper. The drawing is all about the mechanically printed grid – I love finding things in there – rhythms, networks, the over-controller, the measurer of time and space. For many years I made drawings strictly within the bare bones of the grid, but something burst open – the winter branch before the leaf, then the foliated tree.
