These drawings are from my Architectural Pollination series. They're done with a Micron pen on Stonehenge paper or Claybord panel.
The Claybord panels are 2" cradled and archival grade surface.
The drawings on paper are typically float-mounted in a white wood frame with UV plexiglas.

These graphite drawings date from 2006 or earlier, and map out early explorations of cities as organisms. They evolved out of my sculptural practices from the 90s and early 00s.

I studied sculpture at Cranbrook Academy of Art and Washington University Sam Fox School of Art.
After several other bodies of work in the mid 90s I started making sculptures that explored maps and cities.
