My practice is drawing centered with a focus on interaction… A lot of my drawings are from direct observation, so going out and finding sources is an essential part of my practice. In my work I seek stories about the origins of images and things, often leading a wild goose chase unfolding entangled absurdist narratives in which everything is interconnected.”
