"My drawings are a visual recording of the processing through life. Reflected, are periods of time from one hour to months or even years. It is about finding balance between the unpredictable nature of emotions and the need to present a cool front. Chaotic energy slams up against control and structure. The push and pull. There is pleasure found in sorting through the variations of responses, reactions and attitudes within any given day.

Raw emotion surfaces through scratchy lines, cuts in the paper and the texture and strength of the marks. Interjected are places of quiet and solitude, resting places for the mind to wonder and reflect. There is a beauty in finding the balance." - Linda Welch
