statement

Drawing allows me to enter space and form in an intimate meditation on the relativity of things.  An eye, the bud of a rose and even the essential nodes of pleasure that encourage ecstasy are each of the same related beauty and shape.  Existence contains myriad new moments of confirmation that everything may be boiled down to the essential elements of the broth of life, and these essential forms may be traced and experienced universally through the exercise of open mindedly making marks on a page.
