like the radio - television - x-rays - sound waves -radar and all that constantly flow between and around us we only see light because we have the receptors to convert it - many years ago I became intrigued with this idea of the universe consisting of dark matter - a tactile 'world' which generated many ideas drawings and works of darkness within and without

a place for everything

and everything in its place​

I became fascinated with where we place and keep things - all that stuff

in every box - drawer - shelf - cupboard and corner - I lived on drawings marking the place and movement of objects that led to cutting into the fabric of furniture to reveal joints below the surface​​
