Shattergrative Web Wave Collision Matrix Manifestation Drawing

16 years dormant; In my new residence at the time of Santiago de Chile; I found myself lost and confused without work yet with time on my hands. By chance, I stumbled across a set of archival ink pens. My thoughts are still not clear as to exactly what compelled me to buy them beyond the comparatively cheap price against that of my homeland Australia. At my parents in laws´ house, somewhat on a whim, I decided to draw a few lines to compare some pens sizes… I had trained to be a research psychologist, but couldn’t see the wood for the trees (or the deadline for the real matter) and my thesis had been a disaster. At a loss, drawing has given me the outlet for the obsessive diligence to method and detail that I had hoped to express in a research career. Failure can provide new freedom, and failure can give you chains: May the freedom be to pursue my art, and the chains of perseveration to a tendency of rigour drive my endeavours forwards! Each piece is painstaking and long in generation. Each piece in some way incorporates an extension of the methodology of forms of my earlier pieces: a novel base design incorporating repetition, iteration, and extension. All of my currently presented works are in simple black and white due to a desire to master the fundamental variables of my methodology. A haste to colour may fail the future by virtue of an overwhelming interaction of untamed variables that could cause a failure to reign in the building blocks of this generational form. Austere yet expressive, my assertion is that these works will complement rather than overcome a room that they may adorn. May you find them interesting in themselves and contributing to your beloved and important places of living!
