My work has always been figurative and representative of the world around me as well as the thoughts inside my head. I’ve carved wood and cast paper made drawings, built installations, and now most of my practice revolves around printmaking. About 15 years ago when in the middle of a drawing I was plagued by all the noise in my head and started to write things down, perhaps to purge them perhaps to sort them out. But instead of recording this in my journal, I started writing in the drawings. I found the tangle of my hair, a perfect place to hide my thoughts. Hidden in plain sight so to speak and from that point on most of my drawings, prints and sometimes even my sculpture contained text, sometimes recorded, sometimes stenciled, sometimes handwritten, and sometimes printed and debossed into the paper. The text varies, it’s mostly personal, sometimes literary, always political and deals with all those issues we battle with every day.
