  Make Instead of Sleep, Draw Rather Than Speak
  Recorded in the following pages are, for lack of a better description, drawings. Well, bound digital facsimiles of work on paper, actually. For some, they transcend their inherit and specific characteristics and function on another level. These drawings can be interpreted as intuitive or reactionary. Impulsive. Controlled chaos. Beautifully ugly. Abstract languages. Coded information. Nerdy thoughts. This is revealed in a mixed series of controlled and indeterminable actions. Put down a mark. Follow where it leads. Don't be mistaken. There are no mistakes. This is more organic than a series of pushes and pulls. No erasers. Only layers. Each piece reads as a record, ensnaring a plethora of disparate things in stratified layers. Meandering thoughts. Objects. Memories. Frustrations. Dream quests. Breakthroughs, or more appropriately, commercial breaks.

  Rough and Ready: Recent Work
  Difficult to view. Hard to comprehend. Worked well, long, and hard on. A push and pull. More like a shove and yank. An accumulation, an interplay of intentional and indeterminate happenings. Wear on the surface, stain on the soul. Unveils a patina devout in capturing the movement of time. A cocktail of handiwork and natures wraith. Rough around the edges. Dark and dank. Torn corners. Rips. Tears. The transfer of energy from an environment well worn. Acts as host to that charge, that force. Exposing what is hidden in plain sight. Communicates a sense of controlled chaos, of constant and unresolved conflict. Dualities. Hybrid notions. Developed through a succession of layers. Layered to the point of collapse. Reflecting the origin. Time is hinged to this natural process.
