Topologies: The Forest for the Trees

My work engages complexity and the question of how we know what we know. We encounter fragments of the world and interpret them, assembling meaning piece by piece, expanding our story and our understanding. The story keeps expanding, yet the picture is never complete. Gaps remain—spaces for imagination to enter. The world is something we are always creating. In this way, these works become the abstract echo of my earlier, more journalistic performance series  “The One Truthiness.”
