Through the use of marginalia and understatement (though occasionally with blatant obviousness), my work plots a lyrical visual landscape using an accumulation of quotidian images as source materials that provide the subjects for graphite drawings on paper. The drawings are based on image fragments found in magazines, books, and on the internet. With work that teeters between abstraction and realism, I present the viewer with images from culture. But rather than state an emphatic thesis, the images present the viewer with the agency to freely read the work as desired (and perhaps as a reflection of desires). And while the varied subjects reflect the erratic manner in which images circulate in contemporary culture, my work coheres as a visual lexicon, united through the act of rendering with the hand.
