About the Work

Chicago is a great theater town. At any one time we have about one hundred and thirty plays running. That includes fifteen to twenty openings a week. After I see a play I work out a drawing as a way of understanding what I just participated in. I don’t draw during the performance. The play hits me the next day in my studio. It doesn’t leave me alone until the drawing comes together. During the work process a collage idea will often come up and there’s always a word from the play that surfaces in my memory. This word will appear somewhere at the edge of the drawing.
