Line, plane, and pattern are elements of form I naturally gravitate to. Line, like language, allows for infinite expressive qualities that through abstraction suggest narrative. The linear repetition in these pieces weaves together visual planes and aural spaces. These seemingly predictable patterns are influenced by the momentum of tides, currents, weather, and shifting sand. But like the ocean, they create textures that at any given moment can shift from a meditative calm to an uncontrollable power. An overload of media sources, a constant stream of click bait headlines, a deepening of political and social divides, and an ever-present angst led me to make this body of work as a respite and response. Living in this overwhelming environment dominated by the necessity of digital media, “Sound Waves” returns us to a place of comfort and awe.
