Sumi-e "Organized Chaos" series
This series of ink drawings is intrinsically introspective, the pieces are created by keeping all channels open and with as little conscious thought or plan as possible. Often a process intuitively follows segments or elements of patterns found in various natural systems and grows through repetition in order to evolve organically. My practice reflects the decision making processes which we face and navigate in ordinary everyday life. An infinite array of minute decisions shape a unique outcome, that can resemble another but can never be repeated or reproduced. I use an idea such as experiencing a day in our lives without any plan, schedule or expectation and apply it to my creative process, no sketching, no plan, no restrictions. Another aspect which is integral to my work is the the dual interaction between basic shapes with their graphical rigidity and the application of intensely vivid decorative detail. It’s like obtaining a calm and centered state of mind in a moment of intense sensory overload.
