X as Y as Z

I work with combinations and mutations of already existing concepts. These ideas aggregate in an environment such as my head and my pictures, where they knock against one another. For example, what starts with the idea of haircuts as sedimentary rock can extend to the concept of timelines.

After I have an idea, I work out how to express it in a physical or written form given my skills and resources. I often begin by gathering images and data. Plotting a graph or constructing a model to interpret a set of data is analogous or, in some cases identical, to my method of producing artwork.

Underlying this process is an understanding that the kind of material (mental and physical) I can access is defined by my humble status as an electrified mass of flesh. My particular human shape, the shape of my brain, is the fundamental frame of reference and the first arbitrary starting point for any definition or order. Trying to keep perspective on my perspective defines my attitude toward the scope of my expression.
