Entropy is a physical property that describes a state of disorder and the second law of thermodynamics is commonly interpreted to say that entropy always increases with time. In the book Shantaram, Abdel Khader Khan uses an Ultimate Complexity Theory to form an objective basis of morality by suggesting there is no more fundamental property of the universe that encompasses the whole of the universe for the whole of it’s history. Despite the natural tendency to disorder, humanity seems to have a compulsion to force order. We often find ourselves attracted to parallel lines in architecture, simple mathematical formulas to describe special relativity and black and white answers to complicated societal problems. We are mesmerized by the growth we see in nature, but we can’t help reduce new growth to a Fibonacci sequence. The art of Bonsai considers the master one who can patiently mimic the gentle disordered structural and functional balance of natures hand.
My latest painting series is a study of this relationship between disordered fundamental substrates and ordered subject matter. I will like to combine abstractions with some of my favorite simple shapes - triangles and cubes. These wall art pieces are designed to be beautiful in the home but also thought provoking. I want you to have something colorful and playful in your space. I want you to think about how we command abstracted forms to behave and how we feel when they don’t. Pieces in progress are commonly featured on Instagram while finished pieces will be available for sale directly through this website.
Below are some finished pieces currently available:
