What solutions are these? Are they solutions to a question or just a point of reference, and how binding is that? The interesting thing about a point of reference is that the viewer is very much involved and choices have to be made-right? But there is a model behind this work. Something orchestrated or disguised and at times both.

What I enjoy most about the work is the accident of a solution. Any solution I seem to find in the work weighs heavily on my own interpretation. Not unlike a lucky guess at the reasoning behind such craft and aesthetics.

6 questions:

What draws you –no pun intended to take such labors in replicating a material as well known as graph paper?

Drawing is thinking, even when it’s a million straight lines with a ruler.

-What does reading mean to your work? I mean this in a few different ways. First is the convention of reading something left to right or beginning to end. Second is the importance of the viewer reading the materials you use. Third is the reading of the illusion you make of a material.

Reading is paramount to interpretation. The conundrums I propose require an active gaze that questions.

-Do you find any limits to the materials you use?

In the case of replicating graph paper, it’s the reaction to the very limits of the material that becomes significant for me.

-Do you think you could alter your work to adapt to any environment?

The stronger the environment the work is in response to, the less it seems adaptable.

-Do you consider yourself a playful practitioner of art? If so what benefit does this lend to your overall goals in art?

My definition of play is synonymous with exploration and experiment two very important goals in art making for me.

-What is the object you want people to see in the end?

I want people to recognize an object that can be at once factual, beautiful and questionable.
