ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Tap into the patterns of the universal. Concentrate inwardly, feel the connection to something greater, universal, timeless. Life is an emanation of the pattern that is in and of the essence of all that we try to label as ´things.` The mind may meld with the greater ineffable and ever present truth. Concentrate, reveal, assimilate, relax: They are not here to hurt you. They are of you as you are of the universe. A moment of revelation is later questioned: Are they aliens or trans-dimensional beings? Faaip de Oiad on Lateralus was a scared human misinterpretation of a greater force of good. Look it up. Ha ha...either way, Tool is not music. Tool is Tool, and that is my muse. Most folks don´t plan to have an encounter with aliens. In many reports, they reveal themselves in strange ways. Given that I am a sceptic (despite having fun with wordplay), maybe the only strange encounters with aliens that I will have will be when they inadvertently manifest from me aligning small square designs on graph paper, and then applying my line weight gradient drawing `algorithm.´ So yes, in honest terms, the `aliens´ are simply a fluke from lining up a simple line pattern on graph paper. I liked how it looked, and then after about 60 hours of drawing this was the result. Before this drawing I had mostly based my images on vertical line arrangements. As initially, I had wanted to achieve results with media that were unashamedly 2-dimensional. However, I had liked the preliminary results from my earlier piece, `Blotter Emanation Mandala,´ (upload pending) so I decided to pursue another piece using various angles and arrangements. As per my usual line weight gradient shading that I use, the many lines were first drawn. Then in a rather painstaking dedication to refinement, I smoothed each join with a micro-tip, archival pen. (Zoom or see detailed pictures attached for examples). The result is still bluntly 2-dimensional, but achieves a labyrinthine result from the interplay of relatively simple compositional elements.

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!
