A cigarette suggests a unit of life being spent, a temporal unit, a single meaningful thought, emotion or realization. Each cigarette can be seen as a unit of expenditure of life or time. One cigarette is a unique decision or event that is increasingly affected by prior decisions or events. The players in any bounded or unbounded composition eventually become aware of other players. These drawings are meant to suggest the deep imperfections in any kind of human connection, a tenuous holding together of things, a greater and greater accumulation of time and commitment.
