"My new work draws on my background as a former student of Biology, and is an exploration of scale via the study of cellular structures. One can imagine they are both looking at a landscape from above the earth, or a microscopic cosmos. These works are extremely detailed, and for me the process of creating these works is as important as the finished piece.
A set of rules is created for each of the imagined “cellscapes,” which serves to dictate the intricate progression of the drawing. While earlier work consisted solely of black ink on a white surface, through this series I am exploring the use of color to highlight the structure of the drawing."
