Drawing has always been at the core of my practice, at the beginnings of my work. Some of my earliest serious work after leaving art school was Drawing and Fine Arts. Since then, while my work has not always ended up as drawing, it has always started there, or at least moved through drawing. No matter where it ends sculpture, painting, video, photography whatever my practice begins with ideas and then become Design. For much of the last ten years, I have primarily used drawing and different media as a way to develop ideas and then to communicate those ideas during the production process. I never show these drawings because I don't personally regard them as art work. They are part of the process; partial, necessary rather than important, more or less resolved ­ literally unfinished.
