Lot Essay

One of my goals is to explore the interaction of political, social and economic forces in contemporary affairs...I begin each drawing by compiling large amounts of information about a specific bank, financial group or set of individuals. After a careful review of the literature I then condense the essential points into an assortment of notations and other brief statements of fact, out of which an image begins to emerge. My purpose throughout is to interpret the material by juxtaposing and assembling the notations into a unified, coherent whole.
--Mark Lombardi
