My practice is research driven. Most recently I have concentrated on the discoveries emerging from the world of theoretical physics, in particular the finding of increasingly small particles and Dark Matter.
My aesthetic is austere. I often use a very small dot or line. This references both the Islamic Geometers initial mark - a symbol of 'source' or 'origin' and the unimaginably small point or 'singularity' from which the universe expanded.
Each of my current drawings comprise a meditative accumulation of unremarkable marks - repeated but different. The drawings emerge slowly over many weeks.

if you look intently at each speck of dust,
in it you will see a thousand beings."
