Artist's Statement

The sameness of density.
The systematization of space.
The irrationality of rationalized systems.
The replication of shifting models.
A reconstructed uniformity.
The consistent routine of order.
The irrational colonization of homogenized structures.
A splintered seamless web.
The colonization of chance.
The pulse of a dense pathology.
