My work investigates the boundary between order and chaos. The human mind is constantly searching visual inputs for patterns and meaning, usually at an unconscious level. My intention is to create a moment of bewilderment, to encourage the viewer to grope for meaning, to switch to a conscious visual attention.
My works use geometry, repetition and mathematical sequences, which all induce a comfortable feeling of order. But they also embody aperiodicity, movement, 3-dimensionality and lighting effects, all of which create disorder in the mind of the viewer.
In the success is guaged by how long the viewer is engaged by the work, the time spent in this conscious state.
