This series plays with ideas relating to the difficult, distant and deceptive relationship between an object and its image. The drawings have passed through a process of mediation, selection, filtering and framing so as to bear little or no resemblance to the original objects they were derived from. In this way I intend these drawings to be ambiguous in terms of scale and subject: miniature landscapes or forensic minutiae, representations cut adrift from their origins.
