I think of my practice to be drawing. The questions that I attempt to explore in my work are grounded in contemporary art discourse that combines two and three-dimensional practices into an elastic definition of drawing. Borrowing fragments from the natural and the constructed world, my drawings are never completely non-representational. In response to specific locations and architectural structures, I propose for the viewer a fluctuation between perspective and physical presence. I reflect upon a particular set of structural conditions set forth by existing spaces (corners, rafters, stairs, ceilings, walls), and engage possibilities within those spaces with specific materials, gestures and divisions. Comprehensively and concretely depicting what is not there -- a sense of movement, potential of energy in a stationary situation, an implicit meaning -- I attempt to explore the very possibility.
