About the Abracadabra collection.
 
The 66 drawings of the 66 letters of the Abracadabra talisman are the starting point for a creative process. 

I have always had a strong desire for change which manifests in the diversity of my artwork. This constant desire for difference and stimulation, flow, flux, and movement, feels like a physical need and imperative for my creative development.
 
This same need to explore and encounter the unknown has meant that travel has been a big part of my life for the last 20 years or so. I have set up makeshift studios in many different places and cultures, producing work directly from my environment. My Abracadabra works are an example of these travel-inspired works. 
 
Every one of these original 66 Abracadabra drawings is influenced by or leads to other more significant works such as paintings or sculptures. Most were completed whilst travelling  2016 - 2019 and at home during covid, taking 5 years to complete by 2022. 
 
All carry an influence on my surroundings and what was going on around me at that time, colours, light, people, places, memories, moods and behaviour.
