DETAILS
I used to draw - a lot. At one point, living in Italy between 1990 and 1991, I filled sketchbooks for the very first time. Here are some of those images.
Why include them here? Drawing remains our most intuitive and revelatory tool. Training ourselves to pay closer attention while investigating our subjects leads to deeper understanding and better communication, stitching our inner and outer worlds.

CHOREOGRAPHING BERTOLD BRECHT’S “LIFE OF GALILEO”
The assignment was to make a minimal stage in a black box theater that would heighten the themes in Brecht’s play:
The tension between intellectual courage and moral compromise
Galileo's recantation under threat of torture
Saving his own life while betraying science and society
Whether survival at the cost of truth is a form of cowardice or pragmatism
The stage — a single plane divided by a channel, with an island as common ground — had the actors move back and forth over the course of the play, revealing inner tensions by position and movement.
