The moment a wave breaks is often where our attention ends, yet beneath the surface an entirely different world is at work. Beneath the Break explores the unseen movement that shapes the ocean long before it reaches the shoreline. Inspired by the living architecture of coral reefs, shifting currents and the quiet rhythm of water, the work reveals a landscape that is constantly changing but rarely noticed.

Drawn using thousands of individual archival pen lines, the composition builds through layers of colour and pattern that echo the energy flowing through the reef. Rather than depicting the ocean itself, the piece seeks to capture its hidden structure—the intricate relationships between movement, light and life that exist below every breaking wave. It is an invitation to look beyond the surface and discover the beauty found in the patterns that quietly sustain the natural world.

Created as part of an ongoing exploration into movement through line, Construction Study I reveals the process behind my larger pen drawings. Using a series of hand-cut guides, each flowing curve is carefully developed before being built line by line with archival pens. What begins as a simple framework gradually evolves into a composition filled with rhythm, colour and depth.

Although every line follows a predetermined path, the layering of colour creates unexpected moments of harmony and movement across the paper. The study celebrates the balance between structure and spontaneity, offering a glimpse into the methods that underpin my larger original works while standing as a finished artwork in its own right.

Inspired by a moment of collective celebration, this drawing began with a fleeting glimpse of a supporter whose striped shirt recalled the iconic designs of Paul Smith. That brief association sparked a deeper exploration of colour, fashion, memory and British cultural identity.

Drawn entirely with archival pens, thousands of individual lines flow across the surface, converging and separating like voices joining together in song. Bands of colour weave across the page, creating rhythms and harmonies that echo the energy of a crowd united in a shared experience.

The title references the opening lyric of Wonderwall, the song that became the soundtrack to that memory. Like the song itself, the drawing is built from simple elements repeated over time, creating something larger than the sum of its parts. Each line retains its own identity while contributing to a collective whole.

Influenced by the vibrant striped palettes of British fashion and the emotional resonance of music, the work celebrates connection, optimism and those fleeting moments when individual voices become something greater together.
