My images are personal reflections drawn impulsively, like a nervous tick or doodling in the margin. I make this work mostly for myself.
Subjects include figures, objects, and text which speak to personal quandaries and emotional soft spots. The process is additive and generally focused on drawing, bookmaking, and water-based media. Observation, abstraction, layering, obscuring, and re-finding line are important aspects.
At the moment I'm interested in drawing antiquated man-made objects and sequencing them through time, as a way to think about narrative and in particular, nostalgia: the feeling of rediscovering an intense long-lost earlier feeling. Layering, flip books, gifs, circular animation, and series are all possible expressions of this idea.
