Drawing, 8x10”, 2019
This is a show of drawings made over the last decade. The drawings are improvised and spontaneous, usually involving some kind of mechanical intermediary (stencils, letraset, collage). The drawings evoke diagrammatic, schematic, architectural, or mapping ideas while embracing the ambiguities of abstraction. These drawings unfold the visual thought process of an artist who is mostly known for his narrative, interactive media work.
