​Thoughts and ideas

  • Visual music of the landscape
  • Love of complexity
  • Connectedness
  • Mystic
  • Richness and quality of materials is an important factor of the work. Use pastels - good ones. Unison - vibrant and rich colours. 
  • Separate out the elements of my language - by using monochrome in sketches and collages. Focus on one element of the language to heighten it. Drawing is a way of heightening the sense of rhythm. Draw to follow routes and patterns. Drawing is a way to be in the moment. 
  • Combining photos with textiles; paint over with gouache, tear up and use as collage.
  • Stitched sketches - black onto white.

"My work always creates a dialogue between sculpture, painting and drawing. The explosions in my new work on paper respond to the piercing beauty and ravaged landscape of my home on the Spanish island of Menorca." Kenneth Draper
