The drawings in this series explore aspects of the nature of patterning and the extent to which its perception persists under certain conditions.

Artist Statement:

I'm a musician and visual artist living in Newcastle and working mostly in the fields of abstract drawing, installation, sound art, and experimental performance. A lot of my work deals with emergent properties of systematic processes through the use of rule-based iterative systems; feedback loops; growth mechanisms; interference patterns. Recently I've been focused on exploring concepts and rudiments of patterning, specifically seeking patterns which are quasi- or a-periodic, or irregularly repetitive in different ways.
