My New Work
This work was initially prompted by observing patterns made when a sealant is applied to cracks in streets. The objective is to prevent water from seeping through the asphalt and causing damage, but to me the patterns are a complex visual dance. I am sure the people doing the work have no intention of creating art or making any kind of statement, whether visual or poetic. There are other influences such as maps, street layouts, graphs, diagrams, charts and written languages I do not understand but am charmed by their mysterious beauty. We are surrounded by these seldom regarded experiences that can become part of our unconscious lives and provide a rich source of imagery. |
