Each work undergoes its own evolution, beginning with small line drawings in notebooks and progressing through watercolor and ink. With each successive stage of drawing the form grows into uncomfortably familiar modes; part animal, part human, part transition.

Thus the work is not intended to shock but to create a moment of revelation, a space in the mind of the viewer that can be both relief and intrigue.
