statement

Drawing for me is a reflective process. Using unconscious mark making, I build up a field of forms which the mind then projects into. Drawing is a filling of space and time. It is a meaningless activity which yields meaningful results. Drawing is an expression of thought unobtainable by words. It is a release of frustration. While drawings, the complexities of life fall away, my self dissolves and there is only the act of doing. Drawing becomes a form of self therapy.
