three short stories
Small things

I usually make big drawings—drawings as long as a
hallway, as big as a room. I have always wanted the
viewer to be inside the drawing, to be enveloped in
it.

But with this show, I decided to go the other
direction, and go small. I wanted drawings that were
delicate and fragile, like memories you want to not
forget.

Instead of the drawing drowning the viewer, this time
I want the drawing to be held on to, placed in the
viewer’s hands, slowly, quietly.

Trilogy
This is a love story. Three short love stories.

I asked three of my favorite writers—Ramon de
Veyra, King Palisoc, and Zig Marasigan—to each
give a sentence that could be the start of a short
love story. These sentences will frame each set of
drawings.

However, these words are not summaries of the
story; these are just the beginnings.
