how to become human
the human solution

make it human
not human enough”
Drawn in different styles and moods these sketches show various bodily truths; some hold rigid cubist poses while others stretch and flow across the paper, some figures seem stuck or tangled up in themselves while others dissolve into abstract shapes, many figures imply some emotional or physical state such as the figure with a dense tangle of black lines for a head, the ones carrying large shapes on their backs, or the figure that consists only of veins and digestive organs; this series of drawings shows the endless expressions of the human body and explores its limitations and possibilities.
