Studio VII Drawing

Studio VI is one of my multi-dimensional drawings using digital and traditional media. This work is drawn on multiple layers to achieve physical and perceived-depth. Drawn from observation by hand, using quality materials, the creation of my art is an expensive process that takes many months to complete. ​Conceptually, this work relies heavily on the evolution of the image through my mark‐making process. One concept that weighs into Studio VII is the German idea of Gestalt - the concept for how the mind uses perception to form a global-whole with self‐organizing tendencies. Because I draw primarily from observation, my work is the accumulation of thousands of moments of looking with layers of multiple visual insights. ​Forms in my cavernous studio space and on walls come into sharp focus and dissolve into ethereal impressions. The final product serves as a physical record of my visual experience and organization.
