underlying

Ah yes- my unexpected studio excavation! A few days ago I was startled to open my studio door to an enormous mound of dirt. (A pipe burst, my landlord had to cut a hole in my floor...)

But, although it’s inconvenient, I love it. Its so simple- cutting the boards, digging and moving all the dirt beneath- and yet so radical. And the potential for it was always there- just beneath the surface. A good lesson in the metaphysics of re-arrangement…

Oddly enough, that transformation seems like a perfect visual metaphor for the series of prints I’ve been working on lately.
They all deal with hidden and underlying structures- computer circuitry, medical imagery, surveillance imagery, war imagery- and how the patterns in those images parallel and resonate with each other.
