To identify any single point of departure is to consider that there is in fact a single point of reference, and that there is a beginning and an end. It is perhaps more revealing to imagine a world with multiple points of departure interacting in time and space: a world born out of simultaneous collisions and the subsequent transformation of matter, an assemblage emerging through a continuous unfolding of things in space, ripe with the potential to create new possibilities.

These drawings are the result of the convergence of multiple images. They are a collection of influences, contingencies, and effects. Domestic objects, architectural fragments, playground equipment, bicycles, cleaning supplies, maps and diagrams, complexity theory, cyberpunk fiction, biotechnology, genetic engineering, information networks, agriculture, and trickster mythology, among many other seemingly disparate things, are forced together to form new kinds of relationships.

Layering several drawings on top of one another allows the work to develop iteratively, each layer building on the one proceeding. Images are forced to intersect and to play off one another, and eventually enter into a kind of mutation, a process where strange hybrids and protean structures with newly discovered functions appear like bicycle-toilets, a doorknob that opens a hat, a grand piano unfolding from a Swiss Army knife, or a chainsaw that decorates cakes.
