I suppose I like making my artwork into sort of mystical quasi-icons that give a lot of interpretive cues, to better delve into the subconscious. I enjoy theories, words and visual symbols, but for me they are less like boxes where to stack the multitude of lived experience than transforming single points in clouds of moving light particles that keep re-arranging. For some this might just be a metaphor, but in my case it is quite literal. Fine-tuning my choice of words, shapes and images to suit the context is based on a feeling of resonance that resembles the echolocation of the moth, sensing the empty space around objects. However, I am still in the process of deconstructing and freeing myself from form to give the reins to my intuition. I usually include a human or animal character in my pictures to anchor the abstract shapes in my usual mode of perception. I admire fully abstract representation, such as your work, but I have had some difficulties focusing on its creation. Hmm, this may be closest to abstraction that I have done, representing the feeling of a particularly satisflying musical transition, though even that has some sort of a face. kuume.deviantart.com/art/Ether… Oh and by the way, what do you mean by a system of mark making?
