Artist Statement
In these drawings, I am exploring ideas about place, working from memories of nature. Iím interested in how place is also form. An image begins as a reconstruction of an imagined place using limited formal and material choicesóin this case oil sticks. As the structure develops, the place often becomes a kind of self-contained object, cluster, or character, like the bundling up of a memory.
