During a residency last year in Cyprus I made this A1 (120 x 84cm) graphite drawing on 300gsm cartridge of an anchor chain embedded in the sand near a boatyard in Limassol. The whole thing showed theobjects as life size.
I had omitted to bring some slides of my work with me to show to the students there so instead made this large drawing as an ongoing demonstration of what I do. It served to illustrate both perception and technique.
This sheer size of this work made it too unwieldly to draw on site. This work was made from a photograph and some smaller sketches.
