Drawings, work on paper

Throughout the years of art making, paper has been a central support to my graphic mark-making, and the various papers used have responded in different ways depending on the outside factors of water, earth, and wind. My exploratory use of Japanese papers compelled my interest in papermaking and its significance to land and water. The use of found sediments, water, charcoal, and other mark-making media are indexical to the particular sites. The materials and the actions I employed to apply the mediums, including frottage, created physical and abstract layers that have transferred the histories and surfaces of the sites to the paper.
