  • through observation and speculation i test the world and its workings.  what is of paramount interest to me is its nature at the most base level.  how circumstances arise.  how sequences form and events unfold.  how single narratives merge with others, giving rise to more complex interactions.  how information is transcribed within the fluid column of time.  how the present moment comes to be, and how it is continually steered into the next.  
    at this boundary of present and future, possibility reigns supreme.  infinity rules what may be.  permutations abound.  but beyond this cusp emerges only a single lone instance of what is and what has become.  it is with deference to these thoughts, and within this context, that my work is born.
