A kinetogram traces a path of movement relative to an object. Like a seismograph, a kinetogram displays activity.

The majority of my kinetograms are created in a moving vehicle, by holding a pencil on paper and letting the natural bumps and jumps of the trip draw the lines. Individual kinetograms are completely unique and somewhat subjective. However, looking at groups of kinetograms, distinguishing features become apparent. For example, kinetograms taken on high speed catamarans have angular "pitches", while those taken on a bumpy car ride look jumbled and chaotic.

To create maps, I primarily use Faber-Castell, Caran d'Ache, and Prismacolor pencils on LEUCHTTURM1917 notebook paper. I also use chalk to create maps on textiles.

Once a map has been captured, I often outline and shade the map to create a multi-dimensional affect. I use paints, pens, pencils, chalk, powders, liquids and more to process the map into something that represents the original "trip" that was taken.

Over the years, I've created hundreds of maps, and enjoy sharing them with others. I have a small studio at Base Camp Studios, and frequently participate in the Downtown, Belltown, and Pioneer Square Artwalks. Some of my favorite works have been custom Kinetogram clothing since it gives me an opportunity to connect and create a personally meaningful map for someone.

If you'd like to see my work in person, or want to commission artwork, please reach out. I often create custom Kinetogram clothing within the $100-$150 range. Most of my art is priced to cover materials costs, and I try to keep my art affordable and accessible to everyone.
