Large Drawings

2013 These are evidence of large-scale gestures. They are handicapped by crudeness and subtlety of the most basic, insubstantial means; two-dimensional surface and a single tool to mark it with. They’re not finessed but complete. They are not intimate. We live in the world of natural beauty and extreme threats. We want to see the beauty as perfect, reassuring and separate from brutality. These images are as scary as lyrical, precious hinting ominous. In that balance there is something urgently real that matters.
