ANIMATED DRAWING

Zebraship, 2018
This digital image was motivated by dazzle camouflage of ships, particularly using the zebra pattern.

PAINT ON GLASS

Birdhouse, 2016
A sandwich of glass and board with painted layers both beneath the glass and on top of it. The outline of the birdhouse is created by removing paint from the glass which reveals the imagery on the layer beneath.

Coffee on MYLAR

Extinct, 2010
While in Argentina, I often encountered the smell and sight of roasted beef and bone. I had brought with me paper and a brush, but no paint. Espresso coffee – earthy, rich, many-hued – was well suited to the sensuous richness of the imagery.

PENCIL ON PAPER

Blenderman, 2014
As I drew lines and areas of tone onto a flat surface – paper or in the case of animation via a digital tablet – I was thinking with my hand. My marks became art when they ceased being just random strokes and became inseparable from the object and ground, and when the image – bold, simple, and full of energy – generated an emotion for me, or gave rise to a metaphor, or narrative.
