As
a freshman at the Maryland Institute College of Art I am constantly
inundated with new information and aware of different possibilities
that alter my ideas and understanding of what drawing is for me.
I extend formal elements and see how much I can get out of them.
The process of arranging my canvas starts intuitively, beginning
with washes of charcoal and blocks of paint. I create a mess to
work into and around. Working to define a space, I am sensitive
to the proportions of the paper and use the perimeter as the place
that crops the image one sees. My natural mark-making tendencies
form a continuity through my progression. I become most excited
when I disrupt these tendencies by introducing something new, like
a new medium, or idea that is foreign. This process allows me the
growth I need at this stage to investigate what can happen under
different circumstances.
