PORTFOLIO DESCRIPTIONS
WONDER (50” range) - Humankind’s ongoing continuum of curiosity is at the core of these narratives. Drawn pictures with titles such as Wonder, Quest and Search describe the types of universal pursuits that seem central to all people.
HEADS – An ongoing set totaling over 200 faces and counting. Never knowing how each will turn out, these hybrid faces evolve through the process of drawing, allowing the image to take its own path of invention as it unfolds. The 11” x 7 ½” paper size sets the standard to which all must adhere, providing a constant through which variations flow.
ENCHANTED – Looking closely you will see a solitary human in each setting. These figures exist apart from the routines of societal life, totally absorbed within their own being and activity, and at one within the forest-like scenes.
CENTERPIECE (45” range) - These images announce their singularity with a stately presence. Each heroic image proudly displays itself - in celebration of itself. At times a subtext of minimal characters also appears, providing subtle identifiers.
DETAIL (close-ups) – Viewing these images at close range is critical in order to experience the gritty handmade rubbed surfaces, charcoal line densities, and imbued presences. These details highlight the miniscule specific decisions that contribute to the overall work of art.
ENSEMBLES (large walls) – Minor but multiple variations based on simple shapes assemble together to form large collections. Each small drawing shares wall space with its numerous, almost identical partners; thus the individual becomes part of the larger population.
