Ink Drops 2010-2011 (click thumbnail for larger image)

The Ink Drops is a series of drawings that attempt to remove my hand from mark making and allow the ink and paper to form the work. I drop ink onto paper and manipulate the paper. The amount of ink and its fluidity determine movement, rendering my own hand largely futile.

Infinity Drawings 2006-2009 (click thumbnail for larger image)

The Infinity Drawings is a series of drawings comprised of hundreds of circle-like shapes of varying line-weights that accumulate and recede to create a flat landscape. The drawings are made from reference photographs of shadows on pavement that provide an underlying structure to each work. However, within the compositional boundaries, my hand rambles and obsesses, laying marks in an apparently random sequence. The resulting drawing creates an all-overness that slips between abstraction and figuration, chaos and order.

Obliterations 2008 (click thumbnail for larger image)

In the fall of 2008, I faced a personal challenge that left me almost completely unable to be productive. I found that I would sit in my studio only to realize that several hours had passed, time which I was unable to account for. All I could think to do was cross. These drawings are the result of this initial impulse to obliterate. I would simply cover an entire sheet of paper with black marks until every piece of background was blackened.
