    Sketches

    New Surroundings — Sketches from Malta
    A collection of ink and watercolour studies made since relocating to Malta. Streets, balconies, harbours, light on limestone walls, people going about ordinary days — recorded on the spot, in the moment, as a way of getting to know a new place by drawing it. Each sketch is a small, direct record of what was in front of me: no staging, no studio, just observation and a quick hand.
