Drawing DOUBLE CLEAR brought me into the drawing hole that I love to crawl into. In order to create the world I had to immerse myself in the world. I used charcoal pencils to draw this show. The cathedral, plants and bridge were the easiest to draw. The gargoyles were the hardest.

I’m not known for being a poet but I love writing poems. Poetry video sound installation has been a fun experiment for me. I wanted to create ways to interact with the poems that stimulated multiple senses - on the ground, on the wall, with sound, with visuals. These poems explore themes of living, dying, illness and dreams.
