I love how this kaleidoscopic remix of my work reveals ethereal moments anchored in an almost subconscious grid. To revisit my paintings in this way is very satisfying because I notice so many details that otherwise I would miss. I see the work a bit more objectively—with less judgement and more curiosity—and am amazed at all the things that happened.
The gathering of the loose abstraction into patterned and repeating sections satisfies another level of sense making as it conjures cosmic dust, ghostly birds, ikat textiles, lovely geometries—things with names.
There’s also something about the kaleidoscope—the rotating and flipping of sections of the original painting that opens up space and perspective in my mind that is similar to tarot or consulting an oracle—an alternate seeing, a new thought-way that breaks open the typical. For instance, the rich black running through the middle is punctuated with tiny white triangles that point to a subtle opening flower.
