Often it feels like the more I discover, the less I know. I explore this paradox of knowing and how attempts at comprehensive knowledge can obscure the very essence of what I seek to understand.

I draw and list, collect and organize, count and taxonomize what is around me- doing what I can to try to know it. The laborious processes transform the familiar into dense, abstract, and layered records. I reach for found objects and describable qualities in the things and places. Perseverative drawing of poetics formed by my own perception and subjectivity underscores the slipperiness of language and the absurdity and joy in discovery.
