A number of themes recur in my work, which I would describe as follows. The world in which we live is not only concrete but subtle in nature. As subtle beings, our substance is energy, which exists in continual motion. As spiritual beings, we inhabit an ecstatic world that transcends pleasure and pain, while yet encompassing both those polarities. My pencil drawings depict an inner landscape. I think of this work as Fourth Dimensional Drawing because it portrays the subtleties and continual movement that characterize the human spirit.

Whenever
I sit down to draw, I begin by making sure I’m in a state
of open-eyed meditation. I might listen to music or just sit
in silence. In this state, images are born out of the universal
pulse of creativity. I don’t “do” anything;
they just “happen.” There is no external object to
be reproduced. There is no internal object either. Everything
comes from within in that moment. Through this process, a visual
language evolves that describes my own journey.
