Lines

“A line is a dot that went for a walk.” - Paul Klee

The Lines series uses the simple visual metaphor of a meandering mark to represent the complex notion of a life’s journey. Each compositional element is composed of a single non-overlapping line. Between each end point is a series of curves and bends creating a densely and meandered form. On the rare instances in which visual elements intersect each patterns start to emerge creating a visual complexity greater than the sum of its parts. The simplicity and abstraction of these forms lend themselves to an open interpretation. The compositions demand full attention and focus. Though the labyrinths can be scanned over and taken in as a whole it is only through the disciplined and time consuming journey from end point to end point in which the art is fully experienced.

The series spans drawing, printmaking, digital, laser-engraving, typography, and performance.
