#THE STRUGGLE IS REAL

<META NAME + “KEYWORDS” CONTENT-MEMES, MARKS, AND MEMORIES”>, 2016
Over the past year I have thought a lot about drawing: what it is, what it can be, how it’s taught, and how to teach it. I began to wonder “could i arrange Dots, Lines, Shapes, Forms, Textures, Patterns, Colors, and Space in such a way that the visual elements beacme a part of the message rather than a sparate discussion? Thsi work is a document of purposfule intention in service to the grand pursuit of an origanl, aesthtically engaging, meaningful design that communicates the ideas of time, marks, and memory. It is a personal comment and at the same time a visual message. Mainly my hope is that it simply delights because... “Drawing is Magic!”
