Archibiology: The limits of systems are expressed by their escape valves. Explosions
and expulsions relieve tensions that have built up within closed circuits; the result can be
ecstatic or terrifying, depending on the setting. These drawings glide between architectural,
biological and geological systems in order to physically explore the breaks and leaks
sustained by our surroundings (and even by our very bodies). Embedded in the work is
a certain psychological anxiety in trying to hold it all together, along with a surrender to
forces larger than us.

Overgrown: Hair is our wildness; our animal-relation.  It's distinct from our constructed
clothing and buildings, feral, but can also be carefully plaited and gathered up.  It also
behaves like the elements-- water, wind-- a physical snapshot of the parallel forces that
shape our world-- both seen and unseen.  In these drawings, it also stands for the brambly
wilderness inherent in the communication of ideas.

Warm Blooded: Life is in the blood.  We mammals stay alive by drawing upon the lives
of others-- whether plant or animal.  These gouache-colored drawings are part of an
ongoing series that is hairy and fluid, making links between life-giving elements and
the bodies that are sustained by them.  Animals also often stand in for the things we
can't name, becoming symbols in dreams and stories.
