The ability to recognize pattern is one of the most complex activities of the human mind. In our modern day world our individual pattern recognition systems allow us to make decisions by classifying incoming information and separating relevant from irrelevant on a second to second basis. In my work I explore pattern, repetition and structure through the use of simple yet labor- intensive processes.
As our world becomes increasingly more chaotic, global and interdependent my work arises out of a desire to organize and secure my reality. The processes as well as the materials utilized in creating my pieces are chosen deliberately.
They are essentially simple even unremarkable when viewed as single units, but lend themselves beautifully to repetition and expansion thus becoming the perfect counterbalance to the structures and patterns I create with them.
Patterns represent, in my opinion, the perfect analogy for the chaos that surrounds me as well as the complexities
that reside within me.
