The drawings are made with ink and brush on paper, with some digital elements, and include unfolded hand-made product boxes. According to Dym, It's All There is deliberately absurd. I seek to do the impossible, to invent a new world with one-to-one correspondences with our world, from the smallest particles to the most complex human-made construction. Sometimes I make installations, elaborate rooms; sometimes I make images of particular things or locations. The content of both rooms and drawings ranges from the recognizable (e.g., road maps) to the unidentifiable, each element a metaphorical outpouring—so that, for example, a plaid might mean both an information grid and the decorative, a shape might equal both a microscopic animacule and a chance occurrence. Trying to do what is impossible shows us something about what is possible to do. Constructing fictional places informs us about real places but also about the very acts of depicting, imagining, and creating.
