New Drawings
These are from a series of drawings that I have recently begun. Working with graphite and minimal collage on found ledger papers, I am focusing this series on poetic views of the baseline commonalities of human life: breath, digestion, blood flow and other life mechanics.
Skins
“When the skin becomes the paper for a text written by the body, the words are going to be ambiguous, and no statement will have a single meaning.” James Elkins
“The self is an oral society in which the present is constantly running a dialogue with the past and the future inside of one skin. “ [...]

A body filled with internal organs and processes, with strengths, weaknesses, limitations, and the potential for rampant ugliness as well as profound [...]
