Since 2020, I have kept a daily visual diary, recording dreams, emotions and reflections through spontaneous pastel drawings. These Colour Fields inhabit the space between the everyday and the unknown, moving between what is rationally understood and what is sensed or felt.

​

Working quickly with soft pastel, I layer and rub pigment directly into the paper with my fingers, allowing each image to emerge through touch rather than intention. Words accompany every drawing, sometimes nourishing the imagery and sometimes emerging through the making, creating a dialogue between colour and language. Over time, patterns and relationships begin to surface, revealing something of the hidden grammars that shape experience.

​

Many of the ideas that later emerge in my handmade paper, sculpture and installation first appear here. Colour Fields remind me that understanding rarely arrives all at once. It accumulates slowly, through sustained attention.

​

Each month’s Colour Fields are gathered into a book, creating an ongoing archive of the daily practice.
