Tiny Town    

These drawings and paintings were from a larger ongoing body of work called “Tiny Town”.  I derived my source images from the internet and in the case of the drawings, from small toys set up as still lives.  I searched the web, collecting images with the intention of combining them into somewhat believable pictorial spaces.  I had been cultivating an intuitive approach to the way that certain images are combined and I used my day-to-day experience as a guide.  For instance, I may have had a disturbing encounter with someone during the day.  As I pondered the images that I had collected, a particular combination may have begun to feel like the disturbing experience that I had earlier.  In this way the work become a representation of my quotidian experience – although the final paintings or drawings don’t actually resemble anything or anyone I know.
