The desire to make images and to communicate something of otherwise unsayable is natural in all of us. There can be few people who did not make drawings as children, whether using material provided by earnestly indulgent adult or sketching marks into dried earth with a stick. Early in our lives we make patterns and representation with anything that comes to hand, unconsciously exploring the bounds of space with objects we arrange and depict. In this way we are being to learn about a relationship with the world, which goes beyond practicality. For most, creative has ceased by the time adulthood is reached though creativity and considered looking are often channelled unnoticed into other areas of our lives, work or leisure activities becoming professional makers of image or spectacle, that is the artist in the modern western scene.
