Artist Statement
Our unpredictable world of chaos is both terrifying and beautiful. I use my love of fractals and algorithmic processes to explore the contemporary experience.
The world is unknowably vast and complex. In my mind, there are a number of options for how we can cope with this fact. We could live in ignorance, pretending the world is simple, we could give up on trying to understand it, or we could strive to learn as much as possible while acknowledging we know nothing. This last option is the one I wish to express in my work.
Additionally, my art explores aspects of my psyche and experiences with ADHD. To an extent, I see the mind as a microcosm of the complexity and unknowability of our universe. I see myself in my work because its busy and fractured visage reflects my busy and fractured thoughts.
This work is a manifestation of these ideas, its dense fractal-like structures representing the fractal nature of the human experience both at an individual and societal level. I want the experience of looking at it to be overwhelming and confusing. I want the viewer to feel consumed by the beauty of chaos.
