The Notes- 24"x36"- Ink on Paper- done over the Winter of 1997/98 when I had just moved to New York- the Notes were intended to create enviroments inwhich the characters in my artwork could exist. This project also became a form a self- analyist, that allowed me to better understand why I am an artist - I attempted to cover every aspect of my life. Many of these peices lead to the next 5 years of my work and projects.
