    Understanding form in three dimensions

    Before working in two dimensions, the forms are studied in three. These paper models — tetrahedrons, icosahedrons, dodecahedrons — are constructed by hand to understand how geometric solids behave in space: how light moves across their faces, how symmetry holds under rotation. The conviction behind this practice is simple: everything in the world has structure. The work is to find those connections and make them visible.

    The construction begins

    The construction begins

    The construction begins A compass, a ruler, precise pencils — and a sheet of paper that will hold every decision made before the first mark. The geometric construction visible here is the foundation of the composition: arcs calculated, proportions established, the logic of the form made visible before it becomes image. Every finished work begins with a page that looks like this.

    Mapping the structure

    Mapping the structure

    Before a single figure appears, the underlying geometry must be found. These spiral constructions — drawn with a compass on working paper — are the mathematical skeleton of the composition. The relationships between circles, arcs, and intersections determine everything that follows: proportion, rhythm, the placement of each form. Geometry is not a style choice in this practice. It is the belief that structure exists before the image — and that the work of drawing is to find it.

    The composition unfolds

    The composition unfolds

    At a certain point in the process, the full structure becomes visible — figures, circles, and geometric relationships emerging across the sheet. This is the stage where the drawing begins to speak — before it is finished, but after it has found its direction.

    The beginning — a single form takes shape

    The beginning — a single form takes shape

    Every geometric drawing starts here: a single circle, filled slowly with layered graphite strokes. There are no shortcuts — the tone builds gradually, stroke by stroke, until the form finds its weight. What appears effortless in the finished work begins with this kind of quiet, focused attention.
