00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.640
I've been collecting images, putting things into books since high school. Before it was more about coming across an image and putting them aside, then looking for specific samples. I've been thinking about where the ideas come from.

00:00:07.529 --> 00:00:09.189


00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:11.880


00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:16.500


00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.400


00:00:29.409 --> 00:00:31.069


00:00:31.069 --> 00:00:31.839


00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:36.380


00:00:36.380 --> 00:00:38.900


00:00:48.910 --> 00:00:52.510
What the source of information and inspiration was about. I;m really drawn to images that are very full, because

00:00:52.510 --> 00:00:55.559


00:00:55.559 --> 00:00:57.839
I'm really drawn to images that are very full, and very packed; because I want to feel strong and present in the work.

00:00:58.020 --> 00:01:01.060


00:01:04.930 --> 00:01:07.490


00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:10.120


00:01:11.340 --> 00:01:14.440


00:01:15.220 --> 00:01:17.360
Most of them come from the interenet, some are from space and some are from travels abroad.

00:01:22.780 --> 00:01:25.220


00:01:25.229 --> 00:01:26.810


00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.040


00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:33.240


00:01:37.460 --> 00:01:39.820


00:01:39.820 --> 00:01:40.980


00:01:41.540 --> 00:01:44.460
Collecting them, and storing them is just about work that vibrates from you, that you say "woah that is so powerful, you are moved by it and changed by it."

00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:49.560


00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:53.229


00:01:54.260 --> 00:01:56.680


00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:03.659
10 years ago I would look at my images as thought they were breadcrumbs, which caught my eye, which are interesting and why.

00:02:03.659 --> 00:02:06.059
This is an old portfolio of mine from 2009 in India, I

00:02:06.060 --> 00:02:07.980


00:02:09.100 --> 00:02:10.520


00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:11.600


00:02:12.340 --> 00:02:15.380


00:02:18.540 --> 00:02:21.590


00:02:21.590 --> 00:02:24.400


00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.180


00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:33.280
This is an old portfolio of mine from 2009, in India, I visited Jaipur and New Dehli, it is lots of imagery similar to textiles and farming.

00:02:39.720 --> 00:02:43.960


00:02:44.890 --> 00:02:49.150


00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:51.940


00:02:53.380 --> 00:02:55.500
This idea came back into my work 6 years later. When I looked at the 6 sided work, the energy of the hexagon.

00:02:55.510 --> 00:02:58.790
A body of work developed. one way the work seemed so slow, 1 year equals one show. It is the state of mind of my life. The process is a learning tool.

00:03:01.100 --> 00:03:04.800
For my show, I think of vibrations, sound waves, specifically volcanic vibrations.

00:03:04.810 --> 00:03:07.150
the Krakatoda specifically because of how far reaching it was. Every thing is vibrations.

00:03:08.260 --> 00:03:09.720
Everything is made up of waves of energy. things in life have a hum; and there is a way to visually represent that. There are patterns to motion.

00:03:09.730 --> 00:03:11.650
When I look at the drawings, and the most successful, it feels like they hum and vibrate in a way that the energy is translated in the correct way. It takes on its' own life.

00:03:11.650 --> 00:03:14.110
What is so interesting about the creative act is that you can access something comepletely outside of you; and it then becomes a reference of your work. There eventually is some unifying force.

00:03:14.110 --> 00:03:15.890
If you offer yourself up as the hands for the work, it sometimes has it's own language.

00:03:16.920 --> 00:03:19.280
For some reason I had an image of the eyeball, if you think of the pupil as the ego, and the iris as the

00:03:20.140 --> 00:03:21.719


00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:25.080


00:03:25.460 --> 00:03:28.620


00:03:29.390 --> 00:03:31.170


00:03:33.180 --> 00:03:34.710


00:03:36.460 --> 00:03:37.920


00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:38.959


00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:44.120


00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:46.980


00:03:46.980 --> 00:03:50.180


00:03:50.620 --> 00:03:53.019


00:03:53.020 --> 00:03:55.900


00:03:57.069 --> 00:04:01.319


00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:03.219


00:04:03.819 --> 00:04:06.670


00:04:06.670 --> 00:04:10.120


00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.300


00:04:23.080 --> 00:04:26.260


00:04:26.260 --> 00:04:28.280


00:04:28.280 --> 00:04:31.720


00:04:32.460 --> 00:04:37.100


00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:39.320


00:04:39.330 --> 00:04:41.410


00:04:41.410 --> 00:04:44.380


00:04:44.380 --> 00:04:48.160


00:04:55.500 --> 00:04:57.000


00:04:57.900 --> 00:05:00.320


00:05:02.820 --> 00:05:04.400


00:05:05.030 --> 00:05:08.690


00:05:11.300 --> 00:05:12.880


00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:16.780


00:05:18.500 --> 00:05:21.320


00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:29.600


00:05:32.610 --> 00:05:33.600


00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:37.000


00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:38.860


00:05:42.220 --> 00:05:44.680


00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:48.820


00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:53.160


00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:58.140


00:06:05.180 --> 00:06:08.000


00:06:08.010 --> 00:06:12.710


00:06:14.180 --> 00:06:16.620


00:06:16.620 --> 00:06:18.580


00:06:19.660 --> 00:06:21.920


00:06:21.930 --> 00:06:23.880


00:06:23.880 --> 00:06:26.620


00:06:27.580 --> 00:06:31.860


00:06:31.870 --> 00:06:33.440


00:06:33.440 --> 00:06:36.080


00:06:36.620 --> 00:06:38.700


00:06:39.940 --> 00:06:44.000


00:06:45.980 --> 00:06:49.680


00:06:50.420 --> 00:06:52.440


00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:58.060


00:06:58.070 --> 00:07:01.110


00:07:04.150 --> 00:07:05.290


00:07:05.290 --> 00:07:10.030


00:07:10.660 --> 00:07:16.140
As energy outside of yourself. You start to build a relationship of this awareness. The work is not coming from your ego, it is coming from some universal energy; and that relationship is so sacred. Findind what those really interesting relationships are are like memories.

00:07:16.710 --> 00:07:19.560
So if I have a bad memory, and I use these images, it isnt about the memory any more; it loses it context.

00:07:21.320 --> 00:07:24.560


00:07:26.840 --> 00:07:30.720


00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:36.680


00:07:39.060 --> 00:07:42.680


00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:44.130


00:07:44.130 --> 00:07:45.630


00:07:46.380 --> 00:07:49.540


00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:54.060


00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.900


00:08:01.540 --> 00:08:04.200


00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.300


00:08:22.070 --> 00:08:23.410


00:08:23.410 --> 00:08:25.650


00:08:26.520 --> 00:08:28.980


00:08:30.060 --> 00:08:32.960


00:08:33.380 --> 00:08:35.440


00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:40.100


00:08:40.100 --> 00:08:40.780


00:08:40.780 --> 00:08:42.780


00:08:43.920 --> 00:08:45.500


00:08:45.660 --> 00:08:46.820


00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:48.080


00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.220


00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:52.459


00:08:52.620 --> 00:08:54.660
