a brief statement...

 My art is about accumulation and the layering of information. 

To be specific, I accumulate data from various sources, the bulk of which primarily comes from magazines. I layer this information until its original context and meaning begins to disappear and a new alternative meaning becomes the defining pattern of the composition.

COVID-QUILT project (in progress)...

The covid- quilt documents the daily thought doodle from the time covid first appeared until a vaccine is proven to stop this virus and all the various moments in between.  Each drawing is ink on paper and 4-1/2” x 4-1/2” square. When completed all the panels will be combined to form this covid memory quilt. 
You can follow the progress in instagram @tmgratkowskidraws
