Statement::
My ongoing series of prints, "Origins and Destinations", depends upon the interrelating of generally separate forms of visual representation. Photography [temporally anterior; things "having been there"] and diagrammatic drawing [projective] intersect to create the semblance of corporeal forms haunted by ghostly emanations. Through these overlappings and adjacencies, historical events are explicated and redressed with a view towards current international and interpersonal relationships.
