Through drawing, I'm interested in studying how our actions, and quite literally, our touch, define us. Pushing ink and charcoal around is a vehicle for me to do this, when not otherwise engaged as the co-creator/director of EN MASSE, an ongoing series of multi-artist, large-scale collaborative drawings in black and white. To draw is to submit to a blindness and simultaneous awareness of a mind/ body/ mass relationship that in effect, draws me.
By drawing, I am ‘drawn out’ of illusion, out of the cerebral, and into a play of movement: cause -and -effect. In this way the work becomes a vehicle for me to physically and mentally approach a personal history, which, when viewed by others, engenders a shared human meaning. Such an exploration is timely as our world struggles to explore individual and shared definitions of humanity. My drawings study how our actions and quite literally, our touch, define us--- giving meaning to the simple act of being human in a specific time and place.
