INQUIRIES:


Overall
What states of being do people embody when they feel most present, attuned, aware, charged, connected to nature, an entity or a consciousness in this Universe that is greater than themselves? 
How can I explore this with others? 
How can I express it in drawing?

Process
How do I translate the intuitive experience of mark-making that I get from printmaking to drawing?
How do I combine gestural, atmospheric abstraction with careful representation?
How do I combine graphite and ink without one overwhelming the other?
How do I make room for more open space and less density in my completed work?
How can I enhance precision and remove peripherals, as in a poem?

Content
How do I continue this artistic path of connecting the visceral and ephemeral? 
How has its meaning evolved for me over time, and how can I go deeper into this topic, to previously unexplored territory? 

Collaboration
How do I engage other people in my work while still maintaining the freedom 
to work in solitude and fully listen and respond to where the Muse leads?

*

These works were all completed during my month-long July residency in Can Serrat, Spain. I am grateful to them for the time, space and nutrition (literal and figurative) that allowed me the luxury of experiencing drawing as my sole priority.

Thank you for viewing!
