Phosphenes are what you see when you close and rub your eyes: a geometric light show independent of any light coming from the outside world.
The images are based on cloud and wave photos. Outlines, tracings, maps and diagrams are layered over the images in a way analogous to how we interpret, map and analyze our environment. Throughout the surface, fragments float into focus and then recede as the eye moves on to other elements.
The work reflects a world where nothing is solid or permanent. It’s our act of perception that brings elements into being and dissolves them again.
For me, these pieces are a exercise in self awareness of the assumptions and presuppositions that one inevitably carries around. It may be impossible to see the world as it truly and fully is, but it's easy to fool yourself into thinking that you can.
