My practice is an ongoing investigation into modernist ideas of reduction, and the generative role of drawing in abstraction. My work is concerned with how form can carry presence, and how structure, surface, and void might create a sense of familiarity without ever becoming entirely representational. Each drawing operates as both an object and an abstraction, a visual construction in which architecture and nature meet. The process begins through explorative drawing. Working intuitively, I begin with fast, almost automatic sketching, allowing line work shapes to emerge. Over time, these have been refined and simplified through iteration until a consistent language has appeared. Animals, more specifically the cow’s skull, have been fundamental to the evolution of this language. Through repeated studies, these forms were progressively distilled and reduced. This process of transformation became central to my work, the way that something once living could become spatial, and architectural, while still carrying vague traces of its origin.
