My work resides at the intersection of perceptual rigor and psychological inquiry, exploring the tensions between external structure and internal complexity. Whether observing the biological figure, a mechanical engine, or the intangible contents of a memory, I treat the act of drawing as a form of "Analytical Search"—a research-based process used to reconcile the visible world with the intangible.
The work on this site is organized into three primary inquiries:
The Carburetors: These drawings treat the mechanical engine as a "figure," exploring the complex internal architecture required to sustain force and function. I am drawn to the carburetor as a vessel of transition, where internal mechanics mirror the intricate, often hidden systems of the human psyche.
The Heathers Series: In these works, the figure is presented as a vessel: a porous container of memory and emotion. Utilizing "heathered" textures and layered marks, I explore the figure as a site of physical presence that remains open to psychological interpretation.
The Jungian Retreat Drawings: This series represents a deep dive into the "psychological resonance" mentioned in my broader research. Created during a sustained period of reflection, these works utilize an iterative, often hybrid analog-digital process to map the archetypal and symbolic structures of the subconscious.
Across all series, I utilize a "Hybrid Mark". While the finished works appear resolutely hand-made, my process often involves digital drafting and non-destructive analysis to resolve organizational defects before committing to the final, physical substrate. This synthesis of the traditional and the digital allows me to explore the "structural tension" inherent in modern image-making—balancing the precision of the digital plan with the expressive weight of the human hand.
