I would change the code and test it to see the rectangles move in relation to one another, sometimes including mnemonic clues in the code that referenced the colors. I began drawing with the shapes, and to my delight, the compositions took on the styles of Mid-20th Century American Abstract painting.

I learn best hands-on, and to this objective I began beading works in the same proportions as the patterns on the screen. I became a human emulator of the code, translating pixels into beads.

This piece conveys the nervous push that accompanies sensory bombardment we experience in our daily lives. It is crisis overload and we lose our compassion.

The lower portion of color consists of a pattern of bright and reflective beads that do not rest on one single color; the effect is both attractive and unsettling.

The metallic quality of beads in clashing colors represents our contemporary frenzied culture; the blue line is the sill on a window into the black area.

This black receding area is the future, the unknown, and the void where the viewer can rest one’s eyes in sleep.
