SKETCHES (back to project photos)


Drawing is a way to quietly destroy a piece of paper while testing an idea. I use drawing as an investigatory tool within a realm of complete permission. Many of my drawings hit the cutting room floor, yet they are indispensable in arriving at the final work. At the end of a project it is revealing to go back and review the drawings and what could have been: where things diverged, where one idea died off and another one began.

For me, drawing is the quickest way to capture an idea - and the freshness of that idea remains in the drawing even if it isn't realized in the final piece. While on the one hand the drawing is subservient - a means to an end - at its best, a drawing is promise and potential.
