My mind flows back and forth between form and formlessness. Rather than reflect on images in and of themselves, I contemplate images before they turn into thing, into sign, into concept. I concentrate on the substances that make them up, on the most abstract reaches of their materiality: light, darkness, color, space, time, contrast, shade. The combination of those elements is what makes up all the images that enable the world to exist for our eyes. It is amid those elements that the visible ensues.
