I really like these drawings, particularly the hairy lump ones. I also like the third image as a repetition of the second one. It seems like a field of trees or a group or mass of something. The second image on its own seems to me to refer a bit too directly to a woman's body. That's still there in no. 3 but it brings in more associations that I think makes it more interesting.

Thanks for your comments Amelia. These drawings were my very first attempt in silverpoint - what a lovely medium! I am hoping to make a wall/installation piece inspired by the multiple drawing, perhaps in aluminium and silk. The single image is part of the female form - my own cupped hands - it reminded me of a moth!

I love you text work - especially 'Sturdy Metal Buckle'. There is a serious amount of artistic mileage in those 3 words!
