Order & Chaos

 

In all mediums of art, music, and design I consistently find myself drawn to the tension of opposites existing together. 

 

A dance of dualities.

 

In my ongoing series of Control and Chaos, I invite viewers to experience the tension and blending of spontaneity and restraint as angular, exact geometries and gradients weave and collide with sporadic brushwork. Exploring how these forces occupy a shared space, geometric symbols of control are placed intuitively as the composition unfolds with similar unplanned moments of violently spasmodic lines and brush strokes. 

 

Stripping down to essential visual elements, I am interested translating for the viewer the battle of balance between order and chaos. I want viewers to feel the energy of moments of spontaneity and randomness that break intention, schedules and plans. 

​

For me order is routine. 

Order is also rhythm. It is repetition. It is purposeful creation. 

Order is also bureaucratic. Regulations and rules. 

In the four repeated right angles of a rectangle there is organization. The endless rectangles that populate our homes and urban landscape. There is also a domination over the natural round, flowing curves of nature.

 

I define chaos as spontaneous without warning or apology.

Chaos has no law. It is the feeling of giving up to fate. 

Formless and fleeting. Only Order gives it a tangible structure. 

 

My works in this series are in some ways a love letter. A homage. An offering of both understanding and bewilderment.
