About Family Portraits

An ongoing series of line-drawings.

Each piece begins with an image, a collage, a combination of elements from previous drawings. The new drawing is processed to create multiple unique compositions, with repeated elements transformed in a multitude of ways. The resulting composition is plotted using pen and ink and the file deleted.

The repetition of creation, transformation, and erasure ensure a final piece where both the composition and the individual elements are unique while maintaining the underlying structure of the original lines.
