Time and process are important to me, particularly in a world
where everything moves so quickly. As a result, my drawings are
iterative, meditative, and labored even when depicting speed and
motion. I am interested in how things shift and grow, but also in
interior movements experienced during moments of insight or
inspiration. Each piece is drawn by hand—line by line—and takes
multiple sittings to complete. I work in pen, making obsessively
detailed marks that hover on a smooth white surface. These works
resemble moments and flashes in time, with lines often growing
from a central vanishing point to their logical conclusions, which
may or may not be disrupted. They are grand flashes, explosions,
or the most microscopic cells.
