Drawing is an extension of dreaming:  I draw in order to remain maximally awake to the slumbrous frequencies of sight.  I draw what I see around me but also I draw upon internal, imagined shapes.  Making a line on a page or a canvas exercises my freedom to conjure, to render, to demarcate, to caress.  I draw animate creatures and motionless objects, angles and eruptions, events and arrangements, families and the unfamiliar, the wrecked and the whole.  The page/canvas is my cream, my foundation, upon which I evolve creation myths, stories of haphazard survival.  To continue, unmarred, in the context of storm, is my method’s bedrock rationale.
