"Anxiety 1", 18"x24", charcoal on lightweight paper. 2016. Layers of progressively more asemic writing derived from journal entries I made in high school to cope with abuse and anxiety. The nature of this piece, the journals, and ultimately the thought processes that bred them were circular.

"Registration", 11"x14", ink and graphite on newsprint. 2017. The product of repeated alignments of plates for printmaking, this piece of paper acted as a guide, but as mistakes are made and corrected, imprints were made and thus document the repetitive process of failure. It stands as record of my life at the time.
