‘Pathways’ is a series of ball point pen drawings that serve as aesthetic maps of my subjective and personal thoughts.  These drawings act as a physical and gestural response to my own existence within the surrounding spatial and spiritual universe that encompasses everything that we know. A metaphysical framework composed of an interest in the concurrently existing notions of simplicity, beauty, coherence, intensity and complexity informs this series of pen drawings. Each drawing is completed when a set number of pens run out of ink.

Although not always a conscious act, the lines that make up the fields of marks are not arbitrary. The marks reflect my drawing-out of nonspecific elements of the physical universe we occupy.  Each line marks a pathway through space that navigates and intersects countless times with other paths, combining into nebulous forms that reference existence on a holistic level, creating spatial relationships that resemble the interstellar to the intracellular.
