Rendered directly onto rough, stacked wooden planks, this drawing portrays a series of working figures—sawing, sawing again, carrying timber—composed in a quiet, documentary manner. The monochrome ink or graphite lines are economical and observational, allowing the wood’s grain and imperfections to become part of the image and to emphasize the material labour depicted. The piece reads like a fragmented mural: planks and battens interrupt and frame the scenes, lending a found-object authenticity that links subject and support.

The result is a humble, human vignette that honors hands-on craft through a pared-back, empathetic draftsmanship.
