The Animation Sketches are an extension of my printmaking series Observation Works. I am tearing apart the two dimensional form to expand on the issues that I discovered throughout the printing process. The cycles of cities has been an emerging concern in my work, that ongoing attempt to find balance and symmetry within urban living. There is a fine balance that exists between our natural environment and the man made environment we create within it. We construct our comfortable spaces with the illusion of control. We forget that we are always on the brink. There is always a rise and fall of human progress and a constant flux of nature versus what is man made.
