Drift consists of numerous floating islands of grass positioned in a grid formation on the surface of a pond. The influence of wind and water currents and the action of wildlife will rapidly disrupt this orderly placement and form the basis of a series of drawings that explore the interplay between order and chaos.

Drift is both playful and experimental. It mimics the conundrum of the man-made versus the natural apparent at the site of the exhibition. The ponds at Donkleywood appear to be natural but are man-made. Drift is composed of grass it looks similar to the surrounding meadows except it floats and moves.
