This is a detail from the center of the drawing.

This is a detail of the sculptures on that sit in the section of the drawing that extends out on to the floor.

I made this drawing in the second half of 2020 into 2021. My writing reflects the political climate, protests, and natural disasters during this time alongside personal reflections on loss and distraction that I observed as I worked. I included a platform at the base of the drawing with a Yahrzeit candle, which is used in the Jewish religion to honor loved ones who have died, to memorialize those lost at the hands of police and to the pandemic.

This is a detail of the text section in the middle of the previous image.

This is a detail from the abraded area within the orange taped-off space in the center left section of Flashpoint.

This is a 2-sided drawing that I made to fit between the ceiling and the floor in the Anne Reid Gallery. The first time I saw the gallery I was struck by the expanse of green you could see out the wall of windows in the rear of the gallery. Green is a color I don’t often use but I decided it would be the dominant element of this site-specific work. I was also thinking about how what is outside affects what is inside and vice versa.

This is a detail of the green rectangular space in the previous image. A small section of the green from outside, that had influenced me, is visible on the left side of the drawing.

This is a detail from the center section of the drawing.

The following image shows a detail from this work.

The text in this drawing is about obligation, expectation, and the pacing and patterns in Igor Levit’s performance of Bach’s Goldberg Variations, as they relate to changing patterns of tension and contemplation that occur over time.

This is a double-sided scroll drawing on mulberry paper that I made to suspend into the space of a room in two directions, where I confined the text to one side of the work with non-text drawing on the opposite side.

This view shows the text side on the left and the non-text side on the right. The following image shows a detail from the text side.

This is a detail from the text side of the scroll seen in the preceding image.

I was invited to do a project commemorating the 200th anniversary of Walt Whitman’s birth. My research resulted in this two-sided 27-foot scroll and a limited-edition artist book. In both projects Walt Whitman’s words, process and internal struggles are intertwined with my own.

This scroll is suspended from the ceiling and extends across the floor in two directions. This view shows the non-text side of the scroll on the left side and the text-based side of the scroll on the right side.

Sundowning (also known as a sundown syndrome) = a neurological phenomenon associated with increased confusion and restlessness in patients with dementia. It occurs in the late afternoon/early evening. Symptoms include increased agitation; a person may become more upset/anxious/confused/disoriented/suspicious

This scroll suspends from the ceiling with one side showing primarily the text part of the work and the other side showing non-text drawing. This view shows the text side. The next two images show other views.

This view shows the scroll from the side. The next view shows the non-text side of the drawing.

This is a view of the non-text side of the drawing.

A part of the writing in these drawings focus on issues of anger and rage. I was thinking about the levels of discontent that people live with, whether triggered by relatively insignificant incidents or by a buildup of frustration over time, and the need for an appropriate outlet to diffuse and address the intensity, before it erupts in explosive ways.

This is a two-sided drawing where the ink soaking through the paper influenced the opposing side of the work. The final presentation of this piece shows the scroll rolled, deliberately leaving much of the drawing inaccessible.

This is a detail from a drawing that lies on the floor. This detail shows an example of how I introduce small sculptural objects into my drawings. The full drawing is anchored to the floor with hand-stained wood sections on the top and bottom of the scroll.

This work lies on the floor with wood sections on the top and bottom of the scroll and 2 handmade glass globes sitting in the blue section toward the top of the drawing. (Shown on the left side.) The right side shows a detail of the glass globes in the blue-black field.

This drawing was made after a protracted illness, so much of the text is referencing a reorganizing of priorities. The next image shows a detail from this piece.

This drawing (shown in full on the left side) was started in 2016 and was influenced by disturbing events beginning with the attack at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando and continuing through the presidential election, its aftermath and the ongoing fallout that continues to affect how people navigate the dividing lines that run through so many layers of our culture. It is one of the darker drawings I have made with much of the work abraded and buried in graphite. A detail of the center section is shown on the right side.
