 The drawn circle speaks to both the gesture of drawing and the act of making. The phrase turns in on itself: to "draw" can mean to trace a line, to pull something into form, or to extract it into being. Each link becomes both a mark and a unit, forming a network of drawn lines that exist not on a page but in space. The wire, once a line, becomes a circle; the circle, once closed, becomes a surface; and the surface, once built, becomes a drawing in three dimensions.

The wire itself performs the drawing; it traces its own geometry, expanding the idea of drawing beyond the flat page into the quiet depth of three-dimensional form. In this way, drawing is freed from the flatness of paper and re-imagined as a physical object. Here, drawing becomes a way of building, and making becomes a way of seeing. The works carry the weight of labour hundreds of circles patiently linked together, each gesture precise and deliberate. The beauty lies not in the shine of metal but in its honesty, in the raw simplicity of worked steel. It is drawing made tangible, where repetition becomes rhythm, and a drawing emerges by freeing a drawn circle from the page.
