Once I was doodling in class.
A few lines in the margins of a notebooks grew into pages filled with doodling design work. Designs made up of somewhat familiar and bizarrely extraordinary symbols that speak to whoever is looking.
In 2013 and 2014, inspired by the people closest to me, their complex psychology and aspirations, I took some of my most favorite aspects of them and created personalized doodles. These personal doodles were not full representations of them only bits and pieces of what made them up so I attached their physical image that I exploded into a series of dots. Dots that were the countless personalities, traits, aspirations, and everything else that made them who they are. I attached both the dots and doodles together as if they were feeding into the other and apart of each other.
And I hit a creative block.
I hiked the trails of New England, started waiting for fish to bit my line with one success, picked the fruit of the season, took a sleigh ride through the snowy fields, and sat on my butt watching the planet’s finest explorers documenting the Creatures roaming this earth. Little by little The art block cracked and finally broke. The reclaimed Creativity came with a question: What if I create creatures with their homes, doodled within their image? I seek to answer this question in each of my pieces in the most creative puzzle solving ways that I can.
