About this Project

paintings are mostly acrylic on paper mounted on wood

About this Project

This series of pen and acrylic paintings on paper were all created in 2008. These paintings have (and still are, as I am still currently continuing this work) expanded upon the black and white drawings in the Digit Series (also listed here). I think of these as further explorations of those forms, almost as if I am looking in further and discovering another layer beneath the original forms.

Though I was not consciously thinking of it at the time, these paintings reveal color (unlike the black and white Digit Series). It is as if I had to take the time to sit with the original forms, spend time with them, and then discover the more complex and individual nature of each one.

About this Project

This series of drawings with pen on paper were all created in 2008. These drawings have become a rather meditational process for me. Although they appear very technical and intricate, they are really very intuitively made. I enjoy the surprise form of each end product and the individual shape each creates, even though they all contain very similar elements.

About this Project

These are additional drawings and paintings from 2008 that didn't quite fit into the other listed groups.

About this Project

This group of small paintings (the entire series was 27 paintings in total) in acrylic, pen, and collage on paper mounted on wood was created in 2007. I was digging through some old papers and found an old geology textbook. Inspired by the abstractions of some of the imagery, I based this work on reactions to diagrams.

I remember being fascinated in that geology class by the lab section in which we worked with minerals, drew maps, and calculated artesian aquifers. Opposite to everyone else in the class, I aced the labs (with my ridiculously detailed drawings) and made my way through the tests in a sadly mediocre fashion (memorization of facts has always been very tedious to me). Going back to the textbook, I can see how inspiring the visualization of these ideas are.

This is an animation I created in After Effects in 2007 using recorded sounds and computer drawn images.

About this Project

This is documentation of my thesis installation at UMBC in 2006. Components of my project included drawings of imaginary cellular creations. Hand drawn animation viewed behind a large lens, recorded and manipulated sounds, and found objects all contributed to the investigation of the viewer behind these creations.
