“What I wanted to get across with this exhibition was how much of a part of my life drawing always has been. It invades all of my daily routine, be it in the shredded form of masking tape stuck to my walls, line-drawings on restaurant napkins or supermarket receipts, to the sketchbooks I carry with me. It really is the one constant solid thing in my life – a stream which runs regardless of what I happen to be doing or where.”

Chris Cunningham – “Faris sketchbooks are a self contained and private, little universe… I love the craft and detail plus they make me realise how similar we are – I spent my life (until I got into film making) drawing rather then talking to people.”

Geoff Barrow, Portishead – “For a bloke that doesn’t talk much, he doesn’t half draw loads”.
