From the artist:
"I have been making drawings after waking from my dreams since
I was nineteen. And in that time, I have seen them progress from
symbolic fragments, fulfilling the cliches of dream analysis, to what
seems to be an act of simple and natural picturing. These images now
appear like snapshots or little absurd and telling cartoons. Sometimes
serious, even dense and morbid, though often funny and light. Overall
they represent a process of the imagination that reformulates my
experience of the world in a clearly unrealistic dimension."
