From the series Roads, these highways where about uncertainty and unfulfilled ambitions. Earlier in my life, prior to moving out to Normal, Illinois for college, I sketched complex highway systems in order to help distract me from a feeling of uncertainty and unfulfilled ambitions. Driven by fondness and admiration for urban-planning, architecture, and engineering (fields I was not majoring in, though thought were my true destiny) these highways were sort of a testament to my competence in these fields. My disillusion was influenced by my first trips to Normal, during which I was shocked by the monotony and lack of virgin/wild land along the road. This ugliness, plus embarking into the uncharted waters of a new life as an independent person, felt daunting and strange. The sketches of highways began to resemble the infinity symbol—a horizontal number eight; a path with no exits. In retrospect, perhaps, those sketches represent just the silly melodramatic late teenage years. However, the final product in this series is a serious, though unintended, self-analysis. Roads culminates with a level of detail and craftsmanship that alludes to a gain in confidence, self-evaluation, acceptance, and a better appreciation for the visual arts.
