THE SEA

  • Meditation is achieved through an attempted release of focus. The Sea drawings deliberately have no focal points. A type of silent meditation can occur as one encounters the drawings. In addition, the series, viewed as a whole, is meant to evoke an experience of being near the ocean- observing the juxtaposition of the harmonic uniformity of the sea with the void produced by sky and earth The titles, personal dates or numbers to me, are meant to mean nothing to the viewer, which further encourages the release of intentional thought and imposed meaning-making.
