Abstraction, often seen as the opposite of the concrete, the observable reality in which we live.
My fascination with the abstract is one born from wanting to know the intangible. A world of possibility that exists outside of perception and in ways that cannot be comprehended through our experience of space and matter.
Not to mention, every advance in science is one that makes our grip on the world increasingly fixed and less questionable. This creates a blindness to anything that might still be occurring on the outside and within it. It is therefore important to always be aware of the fact that we do not know what we do not know and what we do know, remains uncertain.
Yet that does not mean that the urge and thus my curiosity for the unprovable unknown has to be an empty search in the dark. Where perception stops to provide understanding, intuition and imagination take over. Like an out-of-focus light, it leads me to worlds that can be grasped in the fundamental form language of geometry.
Through form studies and minimalism I strive for harmony between geometric shapes and the underlying geometric composition.
In the interplay between the two, I look for what for me is the essence of aesthetics, an empirical experience of a reality that is not observable.
