In my drawings, my sculptor's interest in shadows becomes
translated as silhouette. In the intimate world of the drawing
a lens widens to encompass spaces much bigger than the small
page--the silhouettes suggest large urban architectures against
horizons of indeterminate depth. In the "Twilight"series,
the shapes suggest bridges, highway underpasses, or doorways
and windows as fragments of larger architectures. Through
a window or a door, microcosms are glimpsed which are seen
magnified outside that space against the large sky, as if
to suggest uncontrollable growth starting from within and
taking over the architecture, a metaphor of the built environment
as a kind of surrogate for the body.
