Sci-Fi Flowers, Book 11 #18 Drawing

I scribbled this little narrative on the drawing in a quick moment of inspiration, only realizing much later that I had switched the i and e in "yielded" - but since the work was signed, and I have rules about not touching signed works, I left it as it was :) Book 11 #18 Sci-Fi Flowers 10.25 x 8.25 in 2008 Acrylic paint, Ink, Graphite All works are signed with my initials on the front, and dated, numbered, and signed on the back. This Moleskine drawing ships flat, protected with glassine, foam core, plastic, and bubble wrap in a 9 x 12 x 3 inch cardboard box. ------- My works represent a constant outpouring of singular impressions: clearly isolated images that capture flashes of emotion, changes in perception, or moments of recognition. I give fleeting thoughts as much consideration as monumental ideas: nothing is more important than anything else and every small thing has its place. My process is modeled after the methods of improvisational theater. I make a first mark, then ask myself, “if this is true, what else is true?” I repeat this process with the addition of each new element, using personal experience to shape the final image. Each image represents an isolated narrative, yet all the images together tell a larger story. My accountability for the truth and permanence of this story is an important part of my identity as an artist. This is why I make all my works in sequential series, and never destroy or hide any of them.
