These drawings are only a selection from a larger group of panels each representing a single image of an object isolated in time and space. There is no horizon, no reference to the physical place or the time of the day these objects exist in. They are frozen moments in time, fragments of space whose life begins only in the presence of each other. Any panel can be paired with any other. The way they are paired depends on ones subjective perception of the images and their association.
I call these drawings “visual Haikus” because like a Haiku poem they use precisely drawn objects to create an ambiguous, sometimes mysterious image that is both deeply familiar and profoundly revelatory at the same time. And, like Haiku poems they relay not on any particular symbolism (literary, religious or otherwise) but on the “irreducible mysteriousness of the images themselves”*.
