How the drawings are constructed: The drawings go through a series of steps that enable me to add several layers of information, media and materials. The layers happen in no systematic order. Layers of matte MSUVA varnish, paint, drawing media, and collage elements are added and subtracted throughout the creation of the work.
After the images have been selected, they are typically manipulated in PhotoShop and then printed on acid free matte paper. I use Polar White, matte paper. The image area measures 6"x26". The completed drawing will eventually be mounted onto a 24"x36" sheet of frosted mylar when it is finished.
Layers of information are added to the image in layers. Drawings on oriental gampi paper are created, to scale, to be collaged into the drawing. The drawing components are then attached to the surface using a PVA archival glue.
Layers of paint and varnish continue to be added to the image.
Silkscreen information is added to the image. Drawing information is created to scale on an oriental sheet of Gampi paper.
Drawing elements are collaged into place using PVA archival glue.
The drawing continues to have layers of information added and
subtracted until it is resolved. The first of five drawings nears
completion in December 2009.
