Artist's statement

There is always the truth
No, there is only what can be believed
Paul Scott - The Jewel in the Crown

The pastel series Nobody Knows Anything represents a further exploration of my favourite drawing medium, dry pastel pigment on paper and my ongoing approach to drawing as a series of 'propositions' [nouns] rather than as a 'process' or an act [verb].

My preference for pastel is because it gives such velvety subtle surface qualities and its amazing tonal possibilities, particularly when using white pigment.

Also this body of work demonstrates my personal rejection of the notion that drawing is a process which should show traces of its own making.  My approach is more 'projective'.  I like to imagine or construct an image before I draw it or to create a private world.

Helen Wright, April 2005
