Skeletons
These are drawings on monochrome layers of enamel paint. The
element of line is pared down to create minimal compositions of
balance and contrast using markers and oil paint. The content is
chosen from images that I find on the internet or take pictures
of. I am drawn to images of the abandoned, the mundane, and
overlooked; images that can be stripped of detail and remain
recognizable and familiar, skeletons of reality. The lines were
made with focus and deliberation yet show signs of naked
imperfection, achieving a tenuous existential equilibrium.
