Final product for the MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts program at Goddard College
Abstract
Just as the spaces between comics panels rely on the reader’s imaginative participation, so too do the spaces between entries in one cartoonist’s career. The following collection of work is arranged as just that: work from the bookshelves of an emerging visual storyteller and creative facilitator. Pieces range from comics and text-image haiku, to workshop materials and program guides, to illustrated interviews and artist organization plans. They form a series of distinct volumes that, taken one after the other, invite reader participation to instill deeper meaning—meaning that is at the heart of this artist’s work and his place in the world. The reader is invited to explore, to wander, to imagine—to add some of his or her life to the spaces in between.
