I don't set out to produce art about one subject or another. I'm never without a sketchbook to hand so I am constantly drawing or painting.

My paintings are normally very loose and free as I prefer to paint without the use of paint brushes, instead I utilize my hands or found objects as instruments to aid my process.

Often when it comes to my pencil work, the drawings are left in the sketchbook and other times they develop into more in-depth ideas and detailed images.

In this sketchbook I didn't set out to be a social artist or to create artwork relating to social commentary but as my portfolio developed and people started to review my work, the descriptions started to emerge and I began to notice a pattern I hadn't intended but am now pleased with.

My work tends to focus on the modern day, the plight of man and his material wealth, the development of bigger and bigger cities, the social problems that arise from this and the consequences this has on people. My work always tries to create conversations with its audience about these topics and it is my hope that through this conversation change emerges.

I was first made aware of this project by a Librarian at my college and was intrigued by the short time frame and the idea of the project. I found to be both fun, challenging and at the very end sad to let go of this little notebook.
