The build up of the charcoal if secondary to the intended mark made in the production of drawing, yet we are drawn to the incidental marks made by the dust of the process. The marks are a physical index of the process, they are what is left behind a kind of trace of contact. They replicate the object or processes they have came from but are a different thing again. They are created by a human connection to the surface giving a sense of human agency to the drawing, the collection of residue make sculptural forms on top of the two dimensional surface, some thing I have exploited through photography. The development of the materials has lead the process, to gain a better understanding of the mark making I have first to gain more understanding of the material qualities.
