Artwork Description

A sequence of punctured holes in either depressions or impressions are everything and nothing at the same time. They can be distinguished and linked by the ways in which light reaches their outer edges with varying intensities, bringing life and direction to the vacuum (soul) within.

Inspired by the role that microtubules play for signal transportation in the human brain that creates consciousness. Thus if, "consciousness" is produced when a quantum dispersion of conceivable outcomes collapses into a single actuality–the collapse–this is like the instant the curled-up copper sheet finally unfurls and becomes visible, or when I go from three dimensions to two dimensions (proto-awareness to consciousness) in my art. Even though every event took place in three dimensions, reality exists on the two flat dimensional picture plane.

Artist Bio

My curved 'canvases' are treated as three-dimensional objects. However, rather than approaching the relationship between solidity and space like a sculptor would, I aim to return to the "flat two-dimensional picture plane." Why is this important?

Nature loves curves. To connect as closely with nature as possible, since we are all part of the same energy, curves challenge us to move beyond linear thinking. This type of thinking often simplifies our daily decisions into straightforward cause-and-effect scenarios. In contrast, curves allow us to explore the ambiguity between the present and the future. The tension inherent in a curve, when juxtaposed with the comfort of a flat plane, invites us on a transformative, nonlinear journey. This journey encourages deeper reflection and meditation on our observations.

Since 2004, I've been evolving this aesthetic thought.
