Information

This piece is an exploration of apophenia; our mind's habit of trying to pull meaning out of perceived patterns. I use line and layers of color as a tool for introspection in my abstract works, so I sought to do a large piece that would use this loose reflective expression to find deeper meaning as the piece develops. This began with a minimalist composition; from there I worked fractally, constraining myself to create smaller compositions throughout the piece using the same pattern. This "part within the whole" is central to my limited understanding of consciousness. I reflected on my own experience of gender, language, and social conditioning to mask my neurodiversity in this world.
I used the drypoint process to meditate on these things, using an etching needle and dremel on mylar. I revealed my work by rubbing india ink onto the surface and wiping it away. Each print was hand printed with a spoon. The mylar sheet was used as a plate for the monotype layer.
The large version of this piece will be limited to a variant edition of 4, with smaller prints made from the plate after the edition is closed.
