A crowd of invented faces, drawn in marker until the paper is full.

Marker on paper

An open-ended body of drawings made in marker on paper: heads, crowns, trees and suns, built from flat colour and a single continuous contour rather than from shading.

Nothing is planned before the pen touches the sheet. A face arrives, the ground grows around it — chequerboards, waves, thickets of line — and the drawing is finished when there is no paper left to fill.
