selection of personal work chronicles over 10 years
and exposes many
different threads of my creative inquiry.

where hints of intimacy sparkle in the hand drawn studies
and
sketches. Friends and lovers emerge automatically
from the unconscious as the left
hand scribbles without a goal,
operating outside of logic. The
Munki becomes a furry muse,
inspiring with both
sleepy-long and incredibly short poses and
Probabiliy Waves reveal
the amorphous web of opportunity that
lurks beneath the visible, ordered world we have learned to believe.
