About the work

This work belongs to a series of drawings that use arrows as protagonists. I chose the arrow for its ubiquity and for the economy with which it signals intention – we are constantly directed by them to look or to move. I am trying to find new meaning in the familiar by turning it on itself or setting a number of them against each other.
Here, the ink is applied with a brush to coarse handmade paper, its materiality both obstacle and foil to the subject of the drawing and its making. Its title, Stealing Night to Pay the Day emphasises its various dualities, principle amongst them; darkness and light.
