drawing of roadkill... 2003
I started working in this manner pretty soon after i saw inka essenhigh speak at the VMFA. I was really inspired by her work and how she managed to make intelligent and beautiful work that was still very light hearted.
My work kind of transitioned from being really literally, to being more figurative. I started thinking a lot about biology and anatomy text books and diagrams, and i became interested in trying to show both the interior and exterior of the figure in order to give it a more visceral lool.
