The Plankton or The Whale #1
Description
In terms of composition, my repetitive layering system interweaves color to create depth and a provisional order. The obsessive-compulsive rituals of editing, reworking, removing and embellishing are a mechanism for processing existential anxiety. Each layer is the trace of a mental engagement to which the next layer responds, forming a material record of the qualia of vanishing memories, a history whose legibility is in question. Most of my works are double-sided works that evolve according to the direction of lighting and installation, the layers converging to evoke growth, evolution, and decay of the self and the natural world.
