In my multi-paneled gridded black oil pastel drawings, delicate white cloth wire, and black and white clay sculptural forms, I blur the line between two and three dimensional drawing and sculpture, and juxtapose opposite qualities of value, density, scale and weight using a formal and minimalist language.
There is a tension created between opposites– negative and positive space, black and white, big and small, ethereal and heavy, full and empty, craft and fine art, etc which activates the space for this non-narrative installation. Any part could be removed and exist on its own, or remain as a part of the poetry of their placement together.
I think of this as a sort of “exercise in dimensional drawing” where two dimensional drawing takes on characteristics of three dimensional objects; ie becoming heavy and full, and three dimensional objects become flattened or possess two dimensional qualities of lightness and openness. I think of my drawing process as an activity of "finding form" creating relationships among forms, and then deconstructing and reconstructing or re-configuring the forms.
