Work in progress
Warmblooded/Overgrown is a collection of works that spanned several exhibitions. On these works, I proceeded very intuitively, allowing hybrid beasts and animate geology to play out in turbid dramas. I found myself moved and concerned with the creatures I was drawing, much as a writer of novels describes characters that write themselves. Some of the themes that seem to present
themselves most strongly are ones of solitude—both welcomed and enforced. What is Overgrown? The illustration of certain felt-tensions: The glory and terror of earth's fecundity… the orderliness of entropy… hair grows around discreet edges of books, water and air flow around discreet edges of geological architecture (etc)-- things defy category, or overspill their boundaries. The reactivity of the natural world, its resistance to tidy classification. Our hunger to know it, its elusiveness. What we can see, what we cannot see. What we can know, what we cannot know. The role of the imagination in our understanding of reality.
