Old-fashioned.

Collins, Paper with Drawing Instruments, 2015

When I was a kid growing up I wanted to do drawings, and particularly painting that exhibited the draftsmanship of the Renaissance through the 19th century that had a fidelity of representation.  I wanted to be an old-fashioned artist.  If I were to think about what I'm after, it's to try to figure out some way to come back around to that world.

How do you make very beautiful things?  How do you represent the world and the beauty of the world and at the same time participate in this beautiful form?
