I find the details of things fascinating. And so in these works, I focus on those things that are often overlooked. I wish to slow the gaze and inform a deep sense of seeing our world.

The Last Time I Felt Normal
2010
Graphite on Mylar
27" x 37"
When you grow up a head taller than all of your classmates you soon begin to feel out of place and not normal. You can't just hide in the crowd or blend in and so the last time I felt as if I was just like anyone else was when I was able to ride a childs tricycle.
Give and Take Part #1
2018
Graphite on Mylar
12" x 24"

Part 1 of a YIN-YANG negative drawing. Light and shadow are reversed but because of the position of the light areas being on top, as the sun would be, the image looks as if it could be simply a traditional drawing.

Standing Figure with suitcase and wrist splint
2010
Graphite on Mylar
98" x 54"
These life sized figure studies capture the human condition down to the smallest detail. These figures are augmented by sculptural elements that add dimensionality to their viewing. The drawings are hung in free space so that the viewer can walk behind the works. The Mylar on which they are drawn is translucent and creates a mirror image of the drawing on the backside of the material.
Look for their 3-D presentations in the Installation section of this site.
