"The series 'Drawing in Lead' is a universal sensitive plate on which all raison d'etre is recorded by means of exposure to the cosmic drawing of life/existence to the full span of time and space.

The works themselves are substance in an infinite progress and a coefficient of infinity demonstrating a visual tension between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional sculpture. They are also attempts to explain coexistence, by uniting the poles of art and life, and the scale of Time with the vastness of Space."
