As an artist we are supposed to be our own archivist, detailing our processes and crystalizing the increments of our journey. However, sometimes, my process is more of a personal archeology. Experiments that predate later refined iterations sometimes lay dormant for years till I’m ready to meet the idea. Something I may discard at the moment can become the seed for a body of work that doesn’t come to be until years after the fact. The following drawings were found buried on a shelf in my studio. In them, I see the seeds of Veils and, even more importantly, my current body of work, but at the time, they were ideas I was not yet ready to meet, whereas today, I sit in my studio, seeing my past wink back at me.
