My favourite pastime has always been to draw and dream - to record beauty and capture thoughts with a pencil as I meander through life. I have recently been encouraged to make prints of my drawings.
The Brevity Series is a contemplation of the fleeting nature of beauty and is the beginning of what I hope to be an ever expanding selection of illustrative works.
Sublime beauty is exclusively found in a moment - it is not constant, it cannot be captured and held. Beauty is precious because of its finitude and there is a sense of perfection hidden somewhere in the simple fact that it ends.
A moment of beauty is a Vanitas of sorts - it reminds us that all is transient including our own lives and it prompts us to pause and appreciate the beauty in our world before it is gone.
