I investigate our strange point on the human timeline through drawing, which I hold is the most direct formation of my thought through mark maker. Drypoint printmaking and wheat paste mural techniques enable my line drawings to inhabit larger, dioramic spaces engulfing the viewer. These modes are my way of contemplation; thinking is drawing. The results are surreal landscapes and non-descript inside places with animals, plants and oddly shaped humans doing radical or impossible things.</span></span></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 12.0px; font: 11.0px Times"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;"><br /></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 12.0px; font: 11.0px Times"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;">While letting the pen and my imagination do most of the inventing, my questions behind the desert scenes and interior spaces include doubts on humankind’s path to endlessly pursue connectivity rather than human connection.

These curiosities manifest themselves in the act of drawing; the main motifs being two portraits gazing at each other, figures gazing at a distant horizon, acts of humor or transmission amongst figures within the setting of a vast desert landscape. I view drawing as a way of thinking, a way of translating my daily life and observations from this world into an alternate surreal and more often than not a funny reflection of my reality. The distant desert horizon and the vastness of space created with drawing and print enables the figures to be pronounced in their actions and speech. They tower over the horizon with expressions of worry, disdain, happiness, which reveals my concern for our current human situation. The portraits allow me to direct the drama in the composition and my critique of contemporary culture.Patrick Eggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13238845191790877165noreply@blogger.com
