Temporal Cartography

This project seeks to capture the moments just before an event occurs, the proceeding moment. The constructions portray the unseen domino effect of situational collisions that go unnoticed in daily life.
These intuitive constructions suggest mapping techniques, manuscripts, and color field painting as the basis for what is more a constructed device rather than a painting. These devices do not calculate time, they represent the footprint of time. If time passes through space we are caught in its wake. Evidence of time passing can be found in the three dimensional space that is all around us.

Tableau

This is a chart like depiction of any given moment and the consequential cascade of unfolding events deflecting off one another.
Incomprehensible

A wooden device used to ascertain the accumulated events occurring at a singular moment in time.
Multiple Dualities

This double star spectral depiction hints at the inability to see the coexisting dual phenomena of simultaneous events.
Intercession

This objects allows us to observe the interaction and impact on a cascading event sequence by an individual disruptor event. A pebble in the pond is the intercession for this event with divergent cascade sequences.
Receptors

As time passes through our perception, we grasp some percentage of what is happening. This device assists in the gathering of relative information.
Mirrored Variation

The mandala displays the reflective nature of reality and its beautiful symmetry.
Coordinates Revealed

This chart shows the different options available to each of us at any given moment.
Circumambulation

This is a static depiction of the continuous and interchangeable frequencies that influence our lives.
Frequency

Behold an attempt to use fractal symmetry to capture the complexity of the temporal unfolding.
