My recent process is a struggle between the act repetitive mark making and the liberating release found in the completion of a work. Inspired by the tasks of daily life and mundane working environments I set out to capture the experience. Ideas of tediousness but also patience are common in the work. The permanence of ink further imposes the importance of my directness and gives a more candid history of the works creation. This process becomes analogous to the building of a sand mandala, meditative and trance like. While most of the finished works are ink on paper, I take the liberty of using found objects to further enhance the work in a particular space. By way of the work, viewers are asked to sit, contemplate, and in a sense see through the work to the more conceptual ideas.

Non-representational forms are the foundation for communicating ideas of flow, connection, patience, and work. Intentionally limited use of color help to break away from the current culture of high resolution, high gloss imagery.
