The year begins at the drawing table. Paper is spread and marked with intention, as ideas take shape through line and shadow. Pencil moves quickly and decisively—observing, measuring, committing. These drawings are not studies or revisions; they are complete works, formed through attention and clarity of hand.
The studio holds the traces of that daily practice. Brushes rest where they were last set down. Frames line the walls, surfaces worn by years of use. Nothing here is arranged for display; everything belongs to the ongoing rhythm of making.
Drawing remains the foundation. Before color, before scale, before anything leaves the page, there is the work of structure and balance. Morning light moves across the tables and walls, sharpening some lines, softening others. Forms emerge within that light, held in place by what is essential and released where they are not.
As the year unfolds, some of these drawings will move outward—into larger works, books, and exhibitions. For now, the focus remains here, in the studio, where the year is being built with intention, one drawing at a time.
