I rely on a fluid, intuitive line to make bold mixed-media drawings and paintings of dissembled, life-like forms or unstable geometric constructions intertwined or trapped within an architectural or skeletal grid. Neither recognizable nor abstract, the subject matter can appear both benign and threatening as forms are conjoined or aligned in surprising ways. I favor soft materials like vine charcoal, waxy crayons or oils that generously imprint upon surfaces. I only use color as punctuation or disruption, preferring the opacity of black. My aim is to capture fleeting aspects of a wayward landscape in constant collision with itself and resistant to any imposed order.
