In harmony: Man and Machine

This work continues to explore the mystical aspects of the drawing process (accidental and impermanent manifestations). Change and transience are important in my creative process. I am fascinated with random occurrences, improvisation, and the liberating qualities of non-traditional tools such as toy robots. Using these inventive and playful tools to create eccentric forms or spontaneous arrangements without the constraints of limited visual vocabulary results in works of absolute freedom and honesty. My main goal in using these tools is to surrender authorial control, to release drawing from its enslavement to the artist’s hand, and in some cases to outsmart my own will and intentions.
