STATEMENT
I am a visual artist, working primarily in two-dimensional drawings and defiance.
My recommendation is to consider the work before the writing.
(Though I don’t necessarily recommend my own recommendations.)

My Morning Structure:
I wake up
I make coffee
I walk the dog
These things are mundane, until you calculate how many times I have done them
~2,000
Now they are absurd.

This is the focus of my work: absurd repetition.
First glance, my drawings are impressively rendered:
how beautiful (maybe boring)
You can choose to leave here—
Or
A second look; how funny!
These are drawings of humor
Not the “laugh out loud” comedy
One that requires consideration of their structure
Built upon my own absurd assertions of liberation
My Drawing Structure:
1. Realism = absurd
There are cameras that can capture my subjects in greater detail than I can
in a fraction of the time
Ironically, I photograph all my subjects before drawing them
Soon AI will be able to generate them
Yet I still set about my task wholly devoted; how funny!
2. The empty space = autonomy
I have an affection for the surface of the paper
as I have an affection for control
in a world where I have little (if any)
The blank space is the environment controlled; how funny?
3. The subjects = structureThe corners of the apartment where two walls meet
provide support to the living space
The tape on the studio wall
provide support to the drawings in progress
These boring things provide stability
Stability provides autonomy; hm, funny.
It may be absurd, but I construct my own freedom through drawing.
It is my structure.
Rebellion is not the casting off of constraining structures.
Rebellion is formatting your own.
