Headspace Collection

With this work I put forth a structure to my headspace. a "container" for my thoughts and emotions about a subject which directly affects me.
Geometric armature helps to keep my thoughts in order and avoid them falling into a sea of chaos. It's how my mind works, and synesthesia often affects the placement of shapes, symbols and colors used.
I ultimately strive to reduce the amplitude of noise by learning to filter and let things run their course, get to the essence of what matters and ultimately find sanctuary for my thoughts and soul. 
An important part of my process involves finding the calm amidst the chaos. To come to terms and find my center, I meticulously and purposefully draw and organize clusters of symbols and binary code (ones and zeroes) which weave throughout my work. These represent the chaos and noise surrounding each one of us; how our experiences are being filtered more and more by technology.  The calm exists in the process of tightly organizing and clustering.  I come to a moment of calm when geometry and clean lines merge with more expressive and intuitive aspects.
