My drawings begin with words. Ideas that I discover in books, essays, and news events I then translate into small pictographs. These, in turn, become the conceptual springboard for larger drawings. Through the careful blending of charcoal and delicate erasure, vignettes of diverse images and spaces are interwoven with each other. Informed by a collection of pictures of cities, domestic interiors, weather, and events, my narratives gradually evolve as I work, incorporating and transforming significant private memories and larger world events. In recent drawings, the paper is actually folded or bent, as my interest has expanded to include the play between real space and virtual space. Recurring objects, such as beds, telescopes, airplanes, and tents take on metaphorical significance, and a world is created where a juggler performs beside an explosion, a flight simulator faces a Renaissance landscape, a teacup sits on top of a missile head, and debris pushes through an interior wall.
