Space. Time. Perception.
Lately I like to think of my art practice as I think about my running. When I run, I position myself in the present; ahead of me is the future and behind me, my past. Within my body and within my stride, it is possible to bring an awareness of my passage through time and space. Being in this threshold, which is my ‘present’, is an experience completely unique to me. Positioning myself in the now, it is possible to translate this experience through the very tip of my pencil as it engages with the surface of the paper.
