About the artwork
Your gaze is unconsciously drawn in.
The perceived space assaults your preconceptions with overwhelming volume.
There is no grand door standing between the viewer and the artwork.
It’s simply a matter of whether or not you accept the fluctuations woven from black and white.
Suddenly, you realize that just a moment ago, you were stopped in your tracks, overwhelmed by the artwork.
Time, place, and mind… allowing the distortions inherent in these to flow freely back and forth
