Works on Paper
As a personal response to the “distancing” aspect of technology, I use drawing as a way to linger and reconnect to the physicality of the world around me. Looking for the microcosmic allows me to discover the nuances of objects and consider what I deem beautiful, interesting, or symbolic. Mesmerized by the convergence of surface and texture and form, I translate these observations into a two-dimensional representation, described as value and line. Devoid of contextual references, the process elevates the subject to a spiritualized fetish.
I find this act of drawing to be a form of meditation and an expression of love, which is consoling in a highly stimulating and ever-accelerating culture.
