Invisible Wporlds is a free-hand brush drawing straight onto the wall and is based on pencil drawings made over a number of years, mainly while travelling. It consists of networks of lines, reminiscent of maps but bearing no discernible relationship to existing places, hence it is neither an exercise in mapping, nor in transmitting information. The pictures arose from the interaction between the process of wandering around previously unknown places and automatic drawing. Some were sketches created during night flights looking down on towns and cities delineated by their lines of lights stretching out into the directionless darkness. The work is concerned with the way we move around in the world and the way different places overlap in our memories.
Drawing is a way to achieve grounding, combating the sense of disorientation in a strange world.
The drawn landscape constitutes a second layer overlaid over the real landscape. Illegible concepts generated by handwriting movements are interwoven with the drawing, words I have picked up and carried around with me until the moment comes to scatter them into the drawing.
The enlargement of the drawing to cover several walls creats the impression of a panorama.
The viewer is obliged to turn their body to see the whole thing. What they see is simultaneously open to interpretation and nothing specific, it is both something and nothing. To be able to read the work, to enter into it, the viewer must draw on their own background.
