Edition of 3
My work explores the nested entanglement of rumination. It is something intensely introspective that crawls inside and does so recursively; it wounds and coils and tangles itself; it is a knot I can’t untie. I devour and regurgitate my thought patterns endlessly.

Landscapes of converging lines, cellular altercations, grids and that, our bodies both internally and externally, all at once, from the window that divides us.

There is a conglomeration of sorts. A coexistence of the internal and external workings. It is this organic tapestry, entangled with limbs and branches that form the webbing of your reality. A biomorphic abattoir; a mass butchery, then synthesis of parts. You exist here. Or there. Or in your mind, perpetually collapsing in on itself. It has always been just you. Your self in the environment.
