Scatter Plot Series (March-May), 2020
ink, graphite, acrylic and pigment on paper

During the shelter in place order in the spring of 2020, I engaged in a daily drawing practice. The growing pile of drawings accumulated like tick marks showing time and progress in physical form. The practice allowed me to reflect on the confined, safe and often chaotic space of my home as every section of life got layered on top of one another. Multiple series came from the daily practice including the Scatter Plot series exhibited here. While drawing from home, studio detritus was scattered on the page and carefully rendered in situ. The cast off nature of the crumbs and bits as well as the randomness of the scattered composition contrasts with careful rendering. The process of making the drawings felt connected to the randomness and permanence of each of our positions while sheltering in place.
