Like the sound and shape of vibration in music, geometric abstraction can activate form into an elegant mathematical literature that artists arrange into visual poetics. Compositions weave and unfold, revealing a layered visual fabric. My work is an exercise in approaching form as if it operated like language; as if it had a code of representation just like alphabets and grammar, numbers and mathematics, notes and music. Form, color, intuition and emotion reign in the sub-conscious, where language, grammar and rationale grasp to give those things meaning. My instinct is to mine inspiration from that pre-language source of consciousness, where certain elevated qualities of the human spirit, those that aren’t so easily articulated by language, seem to dwell. In a way, this exploration harks back to my background in linguistics and anthropology. It indicates that my own understanding of the tools I use to communicate has expanded to where I see vibration, language and form as one and the same.
