playing with books
This is a selection from a large series of drawing/paintings and mixed media collages (2016-present) that include references to specific books and often particular pages: Moby Dick by Melville, White Guard by Bulgakov, Mason&Dixon by Pynchon, Infinite Jest by Wallace, Tristram Shandy by Sterne, At Swim-Two-Birds by O'Brien, Mrs. Dalloway by Woolf, as well as product packages and brand advertising.
I would be interested in trying a drawing or collage of any size inspired by a particular book, specific page, or any other text (signs, advertisements, Wikipedia pages, etc.) of your choice.
