Artist’s Statement
I make drawings of simple subjects as a counterpoint to the chaos of life. I think of these works like Japanese haiku - short and structured, the limitations I give myself providing both a starting point and a boundary for expression. The best of my work evokes a liveliness and presence greater than the simplicity of its construction.
These drawings are done in silverpoint, a medieval technique using a fine metal stylus to draw on specially prepared paper, creating marks that will change as the silver tarnishes over time. Read more about silverpoint.
