My current drawings and prints explore the act of seeing by depicting objects and flowers in great detail, using a jeweler’s magnifying lens, even on large drawings.

This captures the reality that escapes the eye in every day life until the act of drawing reveals it. It requires a very slow process, like carving forms, in which the images gradually emerge from the paper. They depart reality through their exaggerated lighting or the use of color in black-and-white plane. There is a deliberate unreality juxtaposed with precision that brings the work into the realm of the surreal.
