sagittarian musings

my friend lauren gave me this daily horoscope calendar
and so far it has been pretty tuned into my wavelength
i think this horoscope really sums up the work in my show

until recently i mostly considered myself a sculptor
i've always drawn but it was hidden within my sketchbook
between those pages anything was possible,
i could place people in this crazy abstract world
that my sculptures inhabited, it was loose & free

real, serious drawing always freaked me out
i didn't have any confidence in my skills,
i've never been much for realism or accuracy

but somewhere along the line i convinced myself
that there was so much potential in drawing
i could convey my ideas & aesthetic to a new extent
despite my lack of technical expertise in the medium

this series of drawings addresses so many important
themes and iconic images from my own personal mythology
things that have been lingering in my head & sketchbook
it was time to finally realize them, see them through
and overcome the fear of sharing them with the world
