In October of 2023 I got Covid, followed by another unnamed flu that might as well be Covid, followed by pneumonia. I had been suffering from a long term cough that was pretty much under control at this point, but then it returned with a vengeance.

I was unable to go into my studio to work on my usual large paintings because of the condition all this had left me in, so I looked for an alternative to keep me working.
I bought an iPad.

I had always disliked ‘fine art’ work produced digitally on an iPad, the obvious machine-made markings, and robotic look to everything, so I decided to try and develop a way of working that both looked like my work, and was done by my hand, and was able to incorporate my love of collage.
This series of drawings is a result of that search for a way of working from my couch, using each drawing to create the next drawing.
