Rebus

The Rebus Project is an ongoing practice consisting of charcoal drawings and motion graphic videos of rebus style puzzles. Generating and drawing the puzzles is a daily exercise where process becomes a somewhat cathartic means for the desire to reconcile and digest the world around us. A love of language, iconography and the feeling of satisfaction one gets from learning, discovery or of solving a puzzle, fuels the process as socially charged topics and political hypocrisy are explored and exploited. Word choice and placement on the page drives the compositions which often contain various solutions. Solutions become social commentary, provocative humor or sardonic observations and ultimately, meaning. With  further contemplation the viewer will find that the "solution" stops being absolute and becomes the object of a more compelling personal quest.
