The visual and conceptual aspects of the hexagon pattern interacting and overlapping are interesting to me. It is like cells in a microscope, dividing and multiplying. The work is inspired by science, nature, and pattern. It is something for me to get lost in and explore. I am sensitive to the properties of the materials; to the interaction of graphite meeting crayon; to a brush stroke under pencil lines; and the subtly of one color on top of another.
There is unpredictable order and intentional chaos. Dualism is everywhere and in everything. Chaos and order, movement and stasis, infinite and finite, creation and destruction, and organic and geometric are dichotomies that are influential. It is the coexistence of these opposites that intrigues me. I understand the work more all the time but I am continually surprised and obsessed.
