Drawns

Below is a smattering of drawings from the various -causms I explore in my process. This is a small collection of web-only layouts that overlay and augment the drawings to act as a stand-in for the full archive. Many of these drawings correspond to projects that I have been working on for prolonged periods, some are just little thoughtbeings that would have otherwise gone unknown, uncherished, and unacknowledged. Others are foundational mythopoetic scenes or figures from ongoing field notes I take from the various imaginal and ever evolving shadowlands that reveal themselves to me. There are drawings of all sizes, uncountable, falling out of drawers and pockets, folders and old books. Many of them are sentimental, others are mental-mental.
I enjoy taking lines on walks, and allowing walks to take mind on lines, and enjoy joy raking lines over walking worlds, and walking the various vectors of flights as they are ever traceable in any one direction.
