(Re)calculating
Like the paintings in Drive, the gouache and India ink drawings begin with a reference photo. I start with a blind contour drawing and respond to the ink drawing using gouache. Fidelity of record is less of a concern than the lucid retrieval of felt memory. The act of driving is symbolic. Other than the obvious metaphor for life as a journey, driving represents the self in auto-pilot awakened by pauses in which we see something beautiful in the mundane.
