| I was conducting process trials based on water. As I reacted to what was being produced, I found myself having little moments of joyful discovery. I was fascinated to observe patterns and implied textures that were generated through natural process; these patterns mimic the fractal nature of repetitive structures on a micro to macro scale that we see within our natural world. Patterns whose resemblance ranges from formations found in semi- precious stones, such as jasper or agate; to satellite imagery of branching river systems and sites of massive erosion. While the implied texture of the work was being influenced by water and stone; the color selections for the pieces are abstractly influenced by the deeper understanding of the personal interactions humans have with color from and cultural, spiritual and psychological standpoint. I wish the overall environment of the installation to inspire a sense of wonder and excitement, so the viewer can explore the work in not only the realms of the physical senses but also transcendental. |
