+ Maps, to be published by Princeton Architectural Press.
I call a lot of my work "drawing" because it's a simple handle for carrying
it around, and broad enough to cover a great deal of what I do. I explore my
fascination with the world through drawing.
I draw with pencils and pens and knives, with rocks and bleach and fire,
with light and sound and motion, on paper and film and computers and in the
world. I work both analog and digital. I can draw with both hands at the
same time.
I work concurrently on projects in a variety of media. Some projects take
longer than others; some are explorations with no outcome intended. Very
often they evolve into other projects. Sometimes a project is set down for
years, then picked up again and turned around and tested in a new position
in the overall pattern of my work. The holes left by abandoned ideas are
part of the pattern, too.
