Entanglement

These are from my current series of paintings in which I have been thinking about the interaction (at a distance) of fundamental particles, a phenomena described as entanglement. The fact that it happens has been proven, the how? the why? and what it might look like are questions that quantum physicists are striving to answer.

A physicist might say they are working in a space where form and colour do not, indeed cannot, exist. As an artist I am not bound by these constraints; I have permission to reinterpret; to make space for imagination.

The paintings below are in random and constantly changing pairs in order to explore the shifting entanglements and intra-connections. All the paintings in this series can be viewed on their own terms or entangled with others, allowing the mind of the viewer to see and explore new relationships.

Imagine the studio as a laboratory where experiments take place. Each brushstroke a particle, each layer a wave. Speculative decisions are applied and carried out, mistakes become part of the visual traffic, covered by the next layer; only a trace remains.
