Drawing Diary was logged on my trip to the south coast last September. I visited different places, Eastbourne, Seven Sisters, Hastings, Brighton and London for my research. The trip was enabled by Praxis support. The Edge was painted based on the image of Seven Sisters. My mind became absent when I arrived there. I experienced the extreme atmosphere by observing it, sketching it and taking photographs. I painted the work in the studio. I intended to paint my experience in my memory.
