In 1987, American vision scientist Irving Biederman theorized that human beings mentally break down images into simple geometric shapes in order to make sense of them. These simple geometric shapes are called geons.
Geons are used to anchor the movement in this portfolio of photographs. The geons are embellished and softened by my moving camera capture. The context of these photographs is not clear and the photographic detail is blurred, but the geons allow the viewer a safe platform, an organizing structure, from which they can investigate the abstraction of the images.
