Tight Space 2019

Tight Space is a series of forty ink drawings on paper. It is a record and expression of a condition that I denied for many years: a state of nihilism, disorientation, confinement, disgust, paralysis, helplessness, fragmentation, division, and the loss of hope a prison within a prison.

The unstable human forms that inhabit these drawings are expressions of refusal and rebellion against reality. Yet they may also be surrendering to their own fractures and dispersal. They drift through the narrow space of the picture plane searching for a window, or perhaps for a revolution visible on the horizon but without hope.
