Solo
For a long time…
I kept this part of my practice private and didn’t share these works. I considered much of this content ‘idea drawings’, experiments, or private explorations, not finished works. However, now I appreciate these investigations as invaluable reflexive engagements that are essential to understanding who I am and what I do. I make these works on my own, in response to the world around me. Although they often grow to include others.
