Fight Nite Drawing

The language of boxing, as well as concepts such as the spectator and the performer, the stage, and those objects associated with such sport and with art, are all investigated through the creation of these narrative works. Inspired by the vernacular of the sport, phrases such as "back in the ring", which describes a fighter's return to the boxing arena after a hiatus, resonate with meaning as they pertain to the artist. As such, the work is not intended to be “boxing art” or illustrations thereof, but is intended to reference associations between boxing and the creative process while simultaneously calling attention to similarities, and equivalents in language. In this work boxing is used as a metaphor for the artistic process, and for life.
