In these drawings I'm concerned with taking phenomena apart, isolating motifs and text fragments and then modifying and recontextualizing them on the page with an emphasis on compositional concision. My intention is to convey small aspects of the complexity of living, to look at what feels intractable to me, and try to bring it into the round. I am interested in things as they are in the world, and how the sifting of details can be used to reassess my own habits of perceiving meaning. Also, I believe in and try for a lightness of touch, whether in the form of attempted levity, or through an acknowledgement of human frailty.
