BIOGRAPHY
My new work draws on my background as a former student of Biotechnology, and is an exploration of scale via the study of cellular structures. One can imagine they are both looking at a landscape from above the earth, or a microscopic cosmos. These works are extremely detailed, and the process of creating these works is, for me, as important as the finished piece. I created a set of rules for each of the imagined "cellscapes," which serves to dictate the intricate progression of the drawing. I am also beginning to employ color in these works, while previous drawings consist solely of black ink on a white surface. We're not in Kansas anymore...
