Beautiful Creatures (2018)

Drawings of Form, Memory, and What Survives

Beauty is not what is untouched. It is what remains.

These works trace moments when human structures and nature meet—not in harmony, but in tension.
Some were drawn on site, in direct confrontation with decay. Others returned later, shaped by memory's persistence.

What endures becomes creaturely.
Weathered, resilient, marked by time—these forms are beautiful not because they are perfect, but because they have survived.

Installing my “Beautiful Creatures” exhibit at the San Francisco Art Institute. Each drawing is a quiet record of architecture observed, remembered, and reimagined.
