I make these drawings as an aside or counterpoint to my main studio work. Sharing certain elements, they bridge surface and space, windows, screens or dividing walls. As visual proposals or propositions they are amalgams of mark and erasure. Initially begun during the pandemic, they are made in groups and worked on until a point where they become singular images, almost as diary entries.
