The work explores the fundamentals of change through the use of repetition and it branches out of inquires into time and motion. It is a result of experimental methodologies in which complexity arises out of simplicity in process and which generate outcomes, transforming the initial input, without limit or end.
Coming from a background in drawing and painting I recognize a lot of my work to be an extension to observational drawing. The advent of the camera has revealed realities in ways Leonardo da Vinci’s pencil could never have. Seconds have replaced the hours and sometimes days it might have taken to capture an image. Technologies have innovated the physical pallet and have introduced unconventional methods to art making and research. The digital transcription of the handmade mark, a dot on a piece of paper, can now be amplified into hundreds or thousands of pixels on a screen, bringing us closer to the bits and pieces, and the geometries which are fundamental to time, motion, form, and space. As a result, the questions surrounding the nature of our existence have also evolved and have given birth to new ideas and focus of inquiry.
As time is at the heart of all existence, the rhythms, the cycles, the rocking back and forth, is constant. Things repeat and repeat again, patterns emerge, seemingly the same yet changed, far from the initial swing of the pendulum. Everything remains in a constant state of flux, a kind of recurring decimal—always in process, and never complete.
The work informs the subject matter outside the conventional parameters of research and practice. Unfamiliar approaches and new mediums introduce the unknown and take away predetermined models and predictions that seem to restrict the element of surprise.
