Arteries, veins, and the interior pathways of the body form the basis for the complex topographies represented in the drawings and sculpture of Tension and Lattice. Drawing on the theory of fractals, the drawings on Mylar and concrete sculpture generate fragmented images that explore and intricately detail the connections, byways, channels, and connections that are vital to our anatomy and to sustaining life. The compositions, at first glance, seem self-similar but are, in fact, infinitely complex. When viewed closely, the drawings can be explored as intricately detailed compositions, or a “microscopic topography” of precise markings. However, on a macro level, there exists an aesthetic of fantasy, in which there is a quick transition from recognizable forms to abstracted areas of line and movement. The complexity of the compositions suggests corporeal transformation: the ability of physical bodies to break, tear, decay, heal, and regenerate. These modes of repetition and mutation are mirrored in the time-intensive and laborious processes by which the drawings and sculpture were created. This work is a continuation of my interest in the conflicts within the fragile, mutable and fugitive state of our interior landscape.
