Drawing is a vital thread in Bridge’s creative practice, not only as a means of releasing the ideas that burn within, but as a living conduit for inspiration. It offers him a freedom sculpture cannot, inviting lines to wander through the unknown without resistance. This spontaneous act becomes a mirror for his inner state, reflecting a greater awareness of the challenges he faces as an artist in daily life. Through drawing, he confronts the shifting terrain of existence, where nothing can be taken for granted and everything is subject to change.

Each drawing becomes a quiet revelation, evidence that no two moments are the same. The act reveals how we evolve hour by hour, day by day, and how certainty itself is a moving target in a world that is neither fixed nor linear. It’s through this fluidity that Bridge discovered a different relationship to his work: one less about control and more about being present.

After decades of sculptural discipline, drawing reintroduced him to spontaneity. It taught him to let go of judgment, both of himself and of art. He came to see that art can be many things at once: profound and shallow, ugly and beautiful, bold and hesitant, each aspect shaped by the viewer’s perception. This realization dismantled long-held assumptions and re-balanced his creative compass. He no longer sees art as a fixed definition, but as an open field of possibility. A line, once drawn, has every right to go anywhere.

When Eoghan first returned to drawing, he felt a tension in his hand,and in his mind. The freedom he sought was buried beneath years of expectation and professional conditioning. To unlearn this, he committed to drawing daily, using the practice as a form of liberation. Gradually, he uncovered layers of self-deception shaped by career choices that once felt necessary. The more he drew, the more he reclaimed a personal truth that had long been compromised.

Many of these drawings have since found new life as prints, expressions of unfiltered creativity, free from prescription or external demand. Each one a gesture of autonomy. Each one a step closer to that quietly defiant declaration: "All I want is to be me. All I want is to be free."

Though Bridge knows the path is ongoing and imperfect, he’s learning to embrace the unknown, finding meaning not in arriving, but in continuing. His drawings are traces of that movement—evidence of a life lived through questions, not answers. They speak to the timeless human condition: the desire to understand, to express, and to simply keep going
