Over the past year, I have begun to develop a process which quite fortuitously has some interesting connections to the work being pursued at the Broad.
As a way of assimilating the conversations i was having with scientists, I started working in watercolor on grids made up of 8x8 inch sheets of paper. At each state (perhaps the end of a day) each sheet is scanned into the computer. This allows me to continue working on the drawings while generating a database of images. Each drawing can either continue in its original grid order, or a single sheet can be used as the basis of a new grid, or may take on a life of it's own.
The digital states also allow work to go on in the computer, mixing images, taking elements of on into the other, or drawing with a tablet.
These digital states can then be printed, reworked in water color, scanned once again...
