The pieces of this series come from spontaneous drawings. Drawing in this way feels like there is a direct line from my subconscious to my hand to the marks I make. Much of the imagery has a very narrative quality. When I’ve exhibited these pieces, viewers often spontaneously tell a story they see in the images, sometimes even speaking in imagined voices of those depicted in the works. This immediate and tight engagement is great for me to witness.
The images look like they are from stories I was never told, myths that haven’t yet been invented.
