I love drawing with ink. Its physicality and responsive properties always feel exciting. After learning about Jason Logan’s work I too began making inks out of natural, foraged, and found materials. When I encounter pigmented elements like flowers, berries, plants and other things in my life I think about how could colour be extracted for ink. What potions might be made, and what processes will help it last? Looking at place and seasons, I am experimenting with grounds, repetitive and meditative mark making, as I aim to keep the ink as good as it is in material. I am thinking through practices I perform in everyday life. As I work and provide care-labour, how can repetition and continuous small gestures express themselves visually? These questions, plus engagement with materials and process guide my drawing. Further, my walking practice includes field work with ink and watercolour; quick moments to document, in place.
