About the work

A closer look.

Send me one place. Real or invented: a valley, a street, the view from your window, a room in a story you are writing. I draw it by hand, then write its first page of history. The page is grounded only in what the drawing actually shows, and one detail stays unexplained on purpose. You see the drawing and the page before either is final. Up to two revisions. Five days. How it started: I made The Kettle, an invented valley, before I learned a real drowned falls rhymed with it. I draw the place first, then go find its history.
