About C.A.Hiley
"The starting point for all work is drawing - drawing of things seen and unseen, imagined, dreamed, heard of, read about, or simply scribbled down in a free associative manner. I use the unexpected, almost coincidental pictorial structures from sketchbook work to make original prints. In origin and intent these drawings have much in common with marginalia of medieval manuscripts, doodles and scribbles by established artists and non-artists: images deemed unimportant and unserious even at the time of their making. The magic lies in these unwatched moments." - C.A.Hiley
