Artwork Description


In my paintings and drawings, I use a process of intuitive, controlled doodling to create line clusters. These clusters grow in an organic fashion and in relationship to preexisting lines and forms. The resulting masses of line clusters evoke organic forms (like hair, muscles, and fungi), natural systems like waves and wind currents, geological strata, and topographical maps. To me, the masses convey a range of entities or characters. I think of them as visual metaphors for social relationships and emotional states.

I develop each image until I feel it has curiosity and tension, when the forms suggest but do not declare their identities or purpose.
