In my much of my drawing and painting work, I use the tropes and conventions of industrial, architectural, and landscape-based abstractions, as a structure to explore the everyday, the domestic space, and reflect on the macro and micro. My new series of Pipe drawings is a compositional and metaphorical exploration into the myriad of connections, conduits, and complexities of contemporary life. In addition to making use of cartooning and illustrative line techniques, some of the Pipe drawings have hidden mice drawn to add an element of levity and invite the viewer to navigate and consider the impossible space of the drawings.
