Artist statement
My drawings start with images of people and objects as real as I can make them, or as real as they appear to me. By manipulating elements that define their specific identity, I can reintroduce them as symbols that participate in a greater sense of identification. Showing only pieces and integrating them to form a partly-defined but believable picture mirrors the way we create individual and collective realities.
