Chess Game, 2004

 

Charcoal on paper.

The body of charcoal drawings exhibited in Layered Alignments: Lost, Found & Filtered in 2008 is abstract at first glance.  Images, impressions and memories taken from the day’s uncertainty and chaos are given context on paper.  Images develop; actually clustered and reassembled, these images and edges of experience are edited to a greater subtlety.  A perceptual shift occurs in metaphor and symbol with the alignment.
