This body of work directly reacts to the loss of a colleague and friend as well as mourning the loss of an experience. I turned to my studio and made drawings for the entire year of 2017. My background is truly based in Interdisciplinary Photography, and I continue to push and cross boundaries between traditions of mimetic representational photographic reproduction and crude, expressive mark-making. Often, drawings are starting points or designs for hybrid cameras, as represented by Objective Distortions. At other times, mark-making literally infuses the photograph. In this case, the drawings acted as a calendar or a statistical record of time. Each day, I entered the studio and began drawing, armed with favorite Faber-Castell Pitt pens. Some days, the drawings took up to six hours. Other days, if I was traveling, the drawings took less time.
