Leave With Me Into Tomorrow


An ongoing project of mine,
that consists of drawings on paper
and their small metal shadows on the floor.

Some drawings were shown recently.
More drawings are still in process of making.

“... idea of the thing—the form—is not an ethereal image of the thing, nor is it how it appears. It is neither a noumenon nor a phenomenon. It is the thought of the thing, which is to say, its formation, reformation, or transformation into truth.”
— from The Pleasure in Drawing by Jean-Luc Nancy


In the chaotic, stressful, full of despair and devastation, current events, I turn to drawing. I am looking for an image of an idea to transform into truth in myself, the simple light confident form. It still exists somehow.
