SIDE QUESTS

Things I made because I wanted to see what would happen.

Not everything needs a roadmap, a case study, or even a good reason to exist. Some things start with a pencil, a spare afternoon, or the urge to make something with my hands.

These are the detours: sketches, paper experiments, little collections, and a few things that take me away from the screen.

That was usually the point.

DRAWN FORMS
