The most recent series of drawings are in what I call a Natural Instinct series, which are interpretive studies of the growth, decay, and regenerating cycles within our natural and socio-political environment.  While mostly observational in structure, these drawings are also counterintuitive, in that the final "drawn" image tends to deviate from the natural, and environmental forms take on a sometimes different and unintended persona.  While materials utilized are basic, the transformative nature of application is very important to the process. Most of the drawings tend to be a mixed combination of gesso, charcoal and/or dry pastels, India ink/drawing ink, contè crayons, possibly some waxy materials (china markers, colored pencils), lots of erasure and tonal blending.
