There is inherent meaning in every form, be it abstract or representational. I am currently using wire and paint to create forms and color relationships that are likened to cognitive and abstract ideas that allude to the collective unconscious. Existing examples of this are natural physical phenomena such as photosynthesis, the movement of energy and the space it occupies, the scientific discovery of the atom being nearly 99.9% empty. The notion of the space referred to as “the ether,” telepathy, clairvoyance, and coincidence are less concrete examples.

Observation, immersion, and displacement are used to thrust the viewer out of their usual sense of space. Through a shift in perception, immersion into my abstraction of what the physical manifestation of the energy network might be like is possible. Bright colors create a visually stimulating environment that heightens the visual experience and perception. Constructing forms with wire allows a maximum amount of volume with the least amount of material, therefore existing as tenuously as possible. Painted wire acts like drawn lines that form visually permeable volumes and barriers in an attempt to talk about knowing that the unknown exists.
