“Yet I am not destroyed by the darkness, by the thick darkness that covers my face.”—Job
This series began with a desire to explore humanity amidstsystem with the potential for chaotic intervention. The grid in the background mimics the aesthetic of cutting mats & sewing patterns, contrasting the unpredictability of smoke. The radiating red & blue lines—historically colors of polarizing contrast—feed off of the aesthetic vocabulary of sewing references, which posit intention, purpose, and choice. Pattern and plans intertwine with a physical, material existence and the quest of identity is held within the question of the forces that triumph. Through the unpredictable haze of darkness, storms full of tests, uncertainty, selfishness, pain, hate, confusion, and shame, I question both the chaos and the suggestion that art hints of one who calls forth from chaos order.
