My current work is concerned with woods. The mysterious nature of thickets, swamps and lagoons, and the animals that inhabit those spaces, both as agents of nature who experience presence and absence, and a narrative place wherein to speak about environmental dislocation. In these drawings, trees, deer and birds are agents whom I borrow to tell stories about power and struggle and beauty, with one’s own environment and with one’s self, as these characters search for a sacred place in their home. I use charcoal, graphite, erasures and stencils to create surfaces. Much of the object imagery is found, culled from the internets, recycling real life environmental events into my drawing.
