About the work

Small Measures is a suite of drawings that fall between architectural abstraction and music notations. They are studies of the incomplete line through the build up and erasure of graphite dust surfaces, and the application of ink and charcoal.

Dust is defined as matter which has altered or disintegrated. Fine particles suspended in the air through material change. The remains of something fragmented and absent, held in an incomplete state, not visible to our eyes. Dust is evoked as a material or state, connecting landscape to time.
