The Process of a Drawing

Follow the link to watch a video of still images taken through the process of creating the piece below.  The drawing was made with oilbar, linseed oil, beeswax and graphite on a heavy weight paper over a period of three or four weeks.  I  worked from still life objects including a wooden donkey, several wooden elephants, a clay camel and a clay figure.  Images of the objects are reflected in a mirror which in my mind symbolises another realm or dimension.  You will notice the objects move around in the course of the drawing which is a visible demonstration of my thought process as I try to resolve the composition and the narrative.
