Artist Statement
In 2011, I began creating plein-air drawings of figurative public monuments principally at Green-Wood cemetery. At Green-Wood, memory erasure embodied in monument became the principal focus of my work. In the last half dozen years, a radical shift in my practice towards studio works on paper corresponded with others recognizing monuments as elemental to the manipulation of memory and identity. My studio works document in a infinite variety of found gestures and color, monumental surfaces embroidered with generations of rage physically embroidered by legions of contemporary Luthers upon their once pristine surfaces.
