Dance Drawings

 

 

 

“studies of dance, movement or gesture, rhythmical in form and improvisational in style”.

The Dance paintings and drawings, which precede them, are always works in progress, records of emotion and the spontaneity of expression.

The drawing media becomes an extension of the body, a dancers limb, a fleeting moment captured but hopefully revealing of something that endures of the human form, forever in motion.

Music itself is also a very big influence, aligned closely with the music choice of the dancer, both classical and contemporary. The titles of the Dance work are usually influenced by their choice of music, which can be anything from Bowie to Bach.
