Born 1954 in Summit, New Jersey, USA
The drawings I have been working on for the past decade fall into two broad categories: those based on data describing natural phenomena and those that take meaning from the concrete materials of paper, the drawn line and the space these coexist in. Though visually dissimilar, they both arise from an interest in invisible structures: time, memory and chance.
The data used is researched and culled from the internet and, in the case of the Tide Drawings, is based on numerical descriptions of the movement of the sea and its relationship to land; that is, the ebb and flow of the tide. The Floating Line drawings take the form of varying structures that occur from a series of repetitive actions: a line is drawn around the perimeter of the paper and, during the mounting process, is cut and allowed to float free.
