Painstaking, persistent and meditative. Works on paper set up an appreciation for the brushwork in the smaller monochromes, paintings similar in tone and scale to the works shown in Made in LA 2014 at the Hammer Museum. See here.

Mechanical drawings of body parts attenuated by joints. So, what a hand and wrist can do to make things in repetition and consequence.

Hatch marks somehow recall Jasper Johns works from the 70s.
