Dark Drawings

Dark Drawings is an ongoing project that plays with tacit fear and interpreted narrative through cliched scenes from the horror genre. Each image can portray a setting imbued with menace or merely an everyday (mostly night) situation. When finalised the collection will be given to a number of viewers from different backgrounds to select a series of drawings for which they will create a story. There are no boundaries, limits or suggestions put upon the authors interpretation . Each image is drawn under dim light in Black Biro Medium. The image fourth from the bottom (Door 2008) was recently printed as a limited edition postcard in issue 1 of Intercity mainline, lanched at Spike Island open 2009.
