WORKS ON PAPER


CHARCOAL DRAWINGS

Common household objects are drawn in shilouette. The simple, but familiar shapes become personal icons, charms, or
emblems to everyday life. The fingerprints and smudges happen naturally in the process of making the drawings, personalizing
these “mass-produced” products and the text is open to interpretation, further blurring the line between the objects, how they
are used and our connections to everyday goods.

HOT BUYS

A collection of drawings from a series of everyday products distilled down to generic silhouettes covered in fingerprints.
The utilitarian items speak to concepts of “women’s work” and examine how we connect with goods when they are not
covered in marketing messages of particular brands.

See the companion piece, sculpture installation In Stores Now.


COLOR COLLAGE

I cut out product imagery from mass market junk mail so it can be seen in a different light. Playing with color,
line, shape and composition, the pieces personalize mass market items and distinguishes them from the crowd.
Collage, Colored Pencil, Colored Paper, Gouache and ink on Paper (2019-2022)


COLLAGE

Using imagery sourced from supermarket flyers, glossy catalogs, ads and promotions that come in the
mail every day, these works organize consumer items to re-think ideas of value, commerce or exchange.
Collage on Paper (2014-present)


FEEDER

These drawings remove the images from their urban surroundings and isolate them on the page. Individual
trucks or scenes are highlighted and bring attention to the underground economies that feed on cardboard
cast-offs and question how we understand those "value-less" materials.
Acrylic and ink on paper (2007 - 2009)

BOXCUTTER

These drawings blend natural and urban textures as a way to reconsider our relationship
to nature, consumer culture, waste, restoration and conservation.
Acrylic on paper (2008)

UPROOT 

Made while working on the installation Uproot, these drawings explore some of the qualities
of the natural world while returning consumer waste to a more natural state.
