For a presentation, Koplin Del Rio's registrar, Kimberly Clark, asked me to write something about each of the drawings in the Gatherings series. Something interesting. I took that to mean avoid art talk, avoid contemplating your navel. So, what is left? My dear wife hates art talk - theory, themes, concepts - stuff like that. I agree. It floods artist statements with unreadable and mostly pompous writing even when written by professionals - art critics, historians, and gallerists. I try to stay away from talking about what my work is about, but art talk seeps in anyway. As a result, for these statements, I focus on how the drawings were completed - what decisions I had to make to solve the narrative and the references that popped into my mind while drawing. I took a cue from my good friend, Sammy Peters, to keep it simple.
