About the work
My work revolves around the appropriation of visual signifiers and their re-contextualization through drawing. For me, the act of drawing symbolically aligns me with labour, while also invoking a basic human impulse to leave a mark and offering a physical system to reconsider accepted imagery. I often remove images and texts form their original contexts and reconfigure them through graphite, scale and juxtaposition into a new form of visual language. This drawing is one word in that language.
