Making marks

I never know what to call these drawings. For me they are like expanded doodles. Explorations of color, line and mark making. I have long been interested in our need to organize information and label it in order to comprehend the world, and my drawings often play with ambiguity and this fascination with organization. Repetition of patterns, map-like images, mazes of lines, color and multiple layers to evoke a sort of fabricated environment. These drawings are an exploration of familiar gestures and almost archetypal shapes and are informed by found images and topographical images.
