"If I make the lashes dark And the eyes more bright And the lips more scarlet, Or ask if all be right From mirror after mirror, No vanity's displayed: I'm looking for the face I had Before the world was made."-W.B. Yeats

ArtXpress 6
My artworks are an exploration, stripping away personal control, allowing art to create itself. I draw on ideas of chaos theory and the butterfly effect, where one small intervention can have a great impact in a dynamical system. I, the artist, control where I lay the ink but let it take its own path down the paper, allowing it to have freedom to fall of its own accord, then expose it to wind and rain. The artworks may look freely chaotic and abstract but on closer inspection reveal the beauty and infinite patterns that appear throughout nature and the universe.
