with Cross I worked with illusion, seeing how i could reduce perspective drawing to it’s bare elements, and introduce repetitive line, a multiplication of something simple, to something confusing and seemingly spacious to the eye.
I am fascinated by geometric abstract forms that act as all encompassing statements. The problem however lies in that these are often utopian fictions that deny reality as much as they try to make sense of it. The problem, I believe, is one of balance. The key is to find a dialogue between order and chaos, without falling into utopian fallacy. We need order – but we also need the anarchic. A touch of imperfection makes a transient thing of purity and genius. It is this that I constantly search for.
