Essence Drawings
These drawings represent a quest to find the perfect line. Think of it as an analogy for sorting out from the facts of life our most important truths. The lines of form are gone over and over; then traced, redrawn, and traced again. My goal in this series is to find a path, through combinations and recombinations of form, toward the communication of a simple, pure idea - the motives that pre-exist action and impulse, the secrets underlying surface reality, the warmth that lurks in everyday geometries. Each drawing represents the distillation of anywhere from twenty to fifty others to get it right. A final template is created which allows for the production of an edition; a type of drawn monograph; each one the whisper and emblem of a simple human feeling.
