As an illustrator, I explore color, texture, and form as a language for storytelling. The aim for my work is to leave things unresolved and let the viewer unconsciously complete it with their own memory and imagination. In that sense the viewer is not just receiving the image, but inserting something about themselves into the piece. The things we leave unsaid create room for interpretation and intrigue. That’s part of what makes implication so powerful, illustration can feel more interesting when it gives you just enough information rather than all of it. I want their imagination to lead them somewhere new, but not unfamiliar.
