I layer tens of thousands of marks in these large-scale drawings, which test my limitations, progress, and ability to adapt. While drawing, I encounter choices similar to those I face as a living thing, including aspects of timing, pressure, abundance, growth, and decay. I see references to my experiences and survival in the play of lines. For inspiration, I go outside to connect with my surroundings in different weather and lighting conditions, and especially enjoy the active visuals in forests and streams. I want my compositions to feel curious, stable, and unpredictable.
