I seek to capture the fleeting, euphoric moments when the mechanics of the world flash briefly into focus. My work-in-progress continues to merge the dynamic possibilities of contemporary tools with the millennia-old tradition of mark-making. In looking at the future of drawing and representational imagery, I am exploring a system wherein rules govern discrete abstract elements that build a greater representational form. I apply the rules of natural phenomena to colored forms and lines. These natural dynamics are then altered so that the forms periodically combine to form representational drawings.
