My piece in the ‘Oil Black’ series was worked in an A3 sketchbook using black washi tape and black pens, then lines added with a fine white oil pen.    The tape had an oily sheen to it in some lights which seemed appropriate, linking it to the surfaces of Theaster Gates’ wall works and black sticky trails on some large ceramic pots which had inspired the piece.

The materiality of the work was what was most important, the discovery of different black surfaces I had created, revealed as I ruled the oil white lines over the piece.
