Collection: Recollections

Using a variety of media—including collage, ink, pencil, and gouache—David focuses on finer details, constructing small, intricate works on paper that strive to disassemble our world and examine our relationship with it. A nascent fixation on architecture, infrastructure, and urban decay, coupled with a lifetime of doodling, sketching, and exploring, has steadily led to the formation and creation of this current body of work. The idea of the city, from both a macro and micro perspective, serves as David’s primary inspiration. Constantly dabbling in a variety of disciplines, his newfound interest in the city has led to a myriad of (somewhat) academic wormholes, including entropy, termite colonies, and cellular biology. With these ideas in mind, the ultimate results are these Recollections; i.e., schematics for dream worlds, blueprints for the inexpressible, or alien QR codes for a species struggling to comprehend our world.
