2011 - 2013
These drawings are derived from film stills; transitional moments where I’ve chosen to pause movies and photograph the television screen from my seat on the couch. They are informed by systems of interference like camouflage and digital glitch. As objects I hope that they invite reading at the same time that they resist legibility.

Selected drawings from 2008 - 2012
Guided by the idea of an ordered landscape many of these drawings put forward an image of nature that is more codified than organic. The geometric layout of elements, unusual perspective, and symmetry present in most of the images suggest a landscape designed in the absence of a natural example. It’s important to me that these spaces and objects acknowledge and engage their own artificiality and that they function as propositions more than pictures.
