While creating projects in response to a client's need, often representational in nature, I find it useful to create abstract compositions. I typically create these works with objects and materials close at hand, and they are experimental in approach. More than a mere escape from the constraints that come with commissioned designs, these studies allow me to expand my drawing approaches and maintain an openness to different modes of expression.
