The notebook laid out on the floor, approximately four metres long. This will be part of the WOA exhibition "Red" this opens on 6th February 2016.
The 'Red Notebook' is a series of woodland studies. Each book is about four metres long. These works are a development of my recent 'plein air' paintings and concern both memory and observation.This work is comprised of two concertina notebooks drawn in mixed media, using ink, gouache, graphite and charcoal. The basis for these two scroll-like drawings is Simon's Wood near Crowthorne, Berkshire and Badbury Clumps near Faringdon. Much of my work between 2011 and 2015 was painted out of doors ('plein air') with no reference to photographs or subsequent studio alteration. These drawings, although largely begun from observation, were worked on over a longer period of time, each taking on their own life. By using touches of red and rose madder washes I was able to pick out certain characteristics of the winter woodlands. The mark making was also an emotional and even physical response to the immediate environment. Unlike my recent paintings they do not employ one vanishing point but rather are like a frieze which can envelope the field of vision. I placed both works on the ground within the woodland. They actually became wet with the raindrops and were in some way connected with the place that a purely imaginary work could not be. Both works are slightly different in technique, one more fiery and the other slightly more subdued. They were painted and drawn in January, which this year has been unusually warm and wet. Like much of my work, they concern atmosphere and an engagement with the natural world.
The brighter of the two drawings also connects the tree and undergrowth forms with Red Coral or maybe human veins and blood. However, I don't see either work as overtly symbolic or necessarily a comment upon contemporary events. It remains my concern to express nature in as vital and vibrant a way as possible and to fully engage with the experience of looking hard at what's out there. I like the idea that a drawing like this can be cinematic and without a beginning or an end, that the work can envelop and absorb which is akin to one's experience in the woodland itself.

“I have a new method of poetry. All you got to do is look over your notebooks... And think of anything that comes into your head, especially the miseries... Then arrange in lines of two, three or four words each, don't bother about sentences ...” - Allen Ginsberg
Writing is a form of therapy.
My friends notebook. She uses writing as a form of therapy to sort of out her thoughts and feelings. There is something about writing and splurging out thoughts in your head on paper that relieves pressure in your heart.

I've had this little leather notebook for years and it's never had a word written in it! I don't think I write much nowadays as everything seems to be technology driven.
