parallel pasts
the density of chance and circumstance
if today has no tomorrow
when reality unfolds
looking for direction
the chain of events that led to the disappearance of...

lost and found you
together we make it work
between madness and meaning
this is how we never met
the depths of many marvelous moments seen all at one time
the ruler and the ruled
the extraordinary coincidence of an ordinary life
the how of the now
the past, the present and the would be could be
searching for the missing seconds
fox and hound (chasing you, chasing me)
first kiss
victory, in black and white
brothers
how birds get lost
thinking back while moving forward
inception

My drawings have three interconnected elements; an idea, a system and information.
The process often starts with an idea or concept; usually something that stands out or gets my attention as part of the complexity of social interaction. This can be centered around the emotions of the individual experience inside such a system or the system itself.
The next step is designing a system with rules and restrictions which relates to it. After completing the design for this system, the information, often random numbers generated for this specific system, gets transformed into actions by this system.
The execution of the repetitive actions is a struggle of man versus system. The result is a minimalistic abstract visual layer that, combined with a carefully chosen title, links and combines the system with the idea.
