To revisit the street of the photo-based Sidewalk Encounters.

Three drawings from the series.

This suite of graphite drawings on paper returns to the street of the photo-based Sidewalk Encounters. That imperiled public space supplies a vernacular of gestures, objects, and signs whose chance juxtapositions carry the logic of social assemblage into contour and shading. The line moves between quick notation and sustained observation, registering the furtive traits of characters leaping at the edge of a trace.

Arabesque Drawings

2025

Three drawings from the series.

In Arabesque Figure Drawings, the fluid charcoal line links the contour of the body to the sweep of Arabic calligraphy. The script carries the figure’s gesture across the page, drawing the eye into the rhythm of the written word. Seen together, the drawings suggest a language at once mysterious and intimately familiar.

Hybrid Drawings

2025

Three prints from the series.

Hybrid Figures begins with drawings in charcoal, Conté crayon, and pen and ink. Digitized and brought into dialogue with imagery generated through machine learning, the drawings carry their inquiry into bodily gesture into a field of color washes, translucent forms, and overlapping lines.
