Plots, grids, models explores the feedback loops, histories, and efficacy of models used to control the built environment and its component networks of built and natural systems. This series explores how the ‘model,’ like a painting, can be a means of abstraction and artistic expression; with the artist as modeler and the painting as model.
I develop these works by iteratively lifting and washing paint in relation with the emerging network of marks. This process surfaces larger forms that evoke swirling ecologies, flowers, leaves, and other networked things. Within this setting, geometric interventions are introduced, reconciled, and consumed until the composition reaches visual equilibrium.
