Between fable and life

Artist Statement

Sometimes a drawing starts with more unknown things than known, and it evolves.
At times, I rely on the act of drawing to find the idea of the work.

This work layered and overwritten became about those unknowns. The drawing describing uncertain memories and lost stories, both are layered, contested and evolving over time.

Materials, surface and different media collide and collude in the making, building an enriched environment.

The drawing a suggestive space, a palimpsest.
