Animals mending their own habitats or morphing themselves into kites in search of a new land and the adventures they have along the way. I create fanciful scenarios where often times there is a cooperative action taking place. The visual stories stem from a variety of issues, often coming back to the importance of shelter and loss of. The imagery is meant to comfort, entertain , spark imagination, and after some time evoke empathetic feelings for the variety of creatures occupying the page.
"The unconscious is the ocean of the unsayable, of what has been expelled from the land of language, removed as a result of ancient prohibitions", wrote writer Italo Calvino. Drawings are their own type of language with stories to "read" and unravel.
In the most recent work, themed The People & The Land, drawings depicting empty garments of people who for political or environmental reasons have been forced from their homes. They wonder through landscapes, also in search of a new place. The first drawing made for the series depicted clothing from different native american tribes. These were the first people I thought of when thinking of loss of land. The second was Palestinian and Buddhist monks followed. I plan to continue working with this theme.
