InkLines

I have lots of creative itches
I should probably see a doctor

I have another itch
to explore black lines
with white spaces
A persistent itch - Oy!

It’s beyond my control

HalfTangle

2000 | Dublin | 6” x 7”
Indian Ink & Marker

I imagined a free-to-roam mass of hair in a corner of my room.

I have many more black lines pieces - too many to share them all. Here is a select few.

Wattel

2000 | Dublin | 7” x 9”
Black Pen & Marker

This one makes me smile - I love how stark, bold and flowy it is.

Imagine vapor trails
in the emptiness!

Wave

1995 | Dublin | 4” x 11”
Black Marker

Exploring real simple ideas.

Smoke?

DriftFoam

2001 | Dublin | 5.5” x 9”
Black Pen & Marker

Watching the foam blowing on a windy and wild morning walk on an empty Irish beach.

FireLight

2001 | Dublin | 8” x 12”
Marker

I either got bored with this one or didn't like where it was going. It needs finishing. I create many a piece that doesn't - or won't - work.

Melding

2000 | Dublin | 10” x 14”
Indian Ink

A little like a busy city - so many things going on at once.

Back with the PrinterBox principle. Exploring the relationships between textures, boundaries and white spaces.

Creation

2000 | Dublin | 8” x 12”
Indian Ink

‘Creation’ is one that just flowed. It’s a bit juvenile but there are bits of it I really like.

I imagined the Fountain of Life spilling potential into the world!

Boo&Busqueue

2011 | Dorchester | Various sizes
Indian Ink

I found myself messing around with the idea of mixing people and slime mold - the kind that hangs from the ceiling of caves.

Tights & Mights - You know.

Ewe&Rabid

1995 | Dublin | Various sizes
Indian Ink

I went to get my hair cut one sunny day in Dublin. On my way into town I stopped into a barber shop I had not noticed before. I had some art with me. He asked to see. I shared these.

AfroFlyer

1995 | Dublin | Various sizes
Indian Ink

He asked me to create a flyer in the same style for his new salon: Afro Hair Salon in South William Street.

I also decorated the new salon interior and created several pieces for the walls.
