Thoughts on photos In 2014 I was working on a pyrograph, a burn drawing, in my studio in the West Bottoms in Kansas City. I had two wonderful windows that looked to the southwest and often, particularly in the evening, the light would spill across my drawing table and render whatever I was working on in extraordinary light. The color changed depending on the atmosphere, the time of day. The topography of the marks that I was making became more exaggerated in the light, more apparent at times, and more atmospheric at other times. I began to photograph this drawing, this pyrograph. These images are the result. They exist independently of the original drawing offering explorations into myriad relationships in time and space. back
