Themes of Tenderness

19/1/2017

Themes of Tenderness was a term my partner and I coined about 10 years ago. It was a very specific idea concerning nurturing, caring and mending one's little part of the world. Neither of us have ever made any work focused on the theme, but every so often something just occurs in the work which fits the bill exactly. This little drawing is one.

I work a LOT in sketchbooks and always have several on the go. My dad was an architect and naval draughtsman, and after he died in 2017 I found heaps of old templates while clearing out his study. Always having been an avid collector of shapes, at the beginning of this year I bought a WHSmith A5 diary to use as a sketchbook specifically for work based on them.

As well as the work you see here, I illustrate under the name of Binky McKee (my mother's maiden name was McKee, Binky was every single one of my great grandmother's many cats!)
