Defying the Laws

Defying the laws of logic, reason, gravity, absurdity… such was the solitary time in the height of COVID. I started making these works as a way to express the unwieldy, awkward and off-kilter sense of reality. The concentration that these images require helped to provide a center and focus and gave me a sense that I could make and break the rules in this makeshift space.

Since 2020, I have returned to this body of work as a place to experiment wildly and play with image-making in a way that more closely relates to drawing than printmaking. These works are also a distinct approach to place, landscape, and cityscape. Repetition, balance, unitization, and chunking exist in the company of solid, heavy, emphatic gestures. There is uncertainty amidst all certainty.
