My drawings are not deliberately 'abstract'; rather, they are an attempt to make visible aspects of reality we cannot actually see. Cyberspace, for example, is not a geographical location like Coventry, it is not a physical object like an apple and nor does it contain furniture as a room might. Cyberspace is beyond the descriptive powers of geometrical perspective yet it is a real part of our everyday lives. If we are to adapt to the new worlds we discover and create we need to develop new ways of seeing; which is to say, new ways of picturing. The gouache titled Block is a puzzling kind of block; it has no counterpart in the physical world, nor is it a kind of diagram from which a three-dimensional object could be constructed. Its shape seems clearly defined but in fact there is no outline. The structure is both baffling and yet at the same time perfectly logical.
