I use standard white chalk to create drawings on a single black wall in my studio. Each drawing is photographed and then erased to make space for the next; the photographs below are the only artifacts of the final works. I employ scale and interactivity to form deliberately self-referential narratives. This practice allows me to explore my relationship with myself and the world around me.
