Spaces
The imposed marking system of symbols and patterns results from a focused investigation of meaning-formation through pattern, repetition, and systems of situating oneself using directional symbols, numbering, and the cardinal points (The ‘X’, the ‘V’, and the ‘I’ (2012) draws upon the simple structure and multiple uses of the X, V/>, and I). The work functions on two levels: to ignite wonder about location and moving forward (or sideways, or backward), and as a trace of existence that may be used to find one’s way back to where they began. I aim to suggest that looking back and looking forward are of similar functions existing in the same place of the imagination.
