Drawing Phrygian Caps
At the onset of the corona plague in NYC, I found myself having a recurring dream that prominently featured Phrygian caps, the red liberty caps worn by radicals during the French revolution. A symbol which has its roots in ancient times when it was worn to signify a formerly enslaved person's freedom.
In any case the image and dream seemed significant so I began to draw a series of Phrygian caps with gouache, pastel and ink on hand made paper.

An idea unfolds visually and intuitively, and I try to keep up with it, chasing it where it wants to go. Finding a through line in my work, looking for a sense that what I am making has some common denominator through materials, and form, and ideas.
