I began to make images using powdered graphite on mylar as a result of the need to create a visual vocabulary for a shift in my perception of life in response to a profound loss.  The ability of powdered graphite to sound a strong note that can be drawn out to a whisper on the translucent ground of matte mylar, supports a metaphor for the transparency of our human edges, our disappearing selves.

At a less existential level, these are also representations of my pleasure in drawing the complex relationships of light and space, edge and surface, the subtleties of movement and atmosphere.
