My PolyRhythms series of paintings investigates the intersection of visual structure and auditory sensation, drawing upon influences from music performance and mathematical rhythm. Through the precise layering of linear and geometric elements in monochrome, the work mimics the complex interplay found in polyrhythmic soundscapes — where overlapping patterns generate palpable tension and unexpected harmony.
In these acrylic on canvas paintings, disciplined repetition and modulation of shapes evoke both digital and analog influences, referencing the formation of iterative patterns in the complex language of the computer era. Invoking the process of constructing sound textures as well as the logic underlying mathematical sequences, each shift in the pattern, every subtle contrast in tone, operates as a visual echo of syncopation, inviting viewers to consider the relational qualities of space, time, and perception.
My Pathways series of paintings, with their grid-like morphology, expand the dialogue beyond pure rhythm, integrating the idea of mapping and digital navigation. Dichromatic Chaos IV and Dichromatic Chaos V gesture towards the ways in which systems — musical, mathematical, or spatial — can be both restrictive and generative, encouraging moments of improvisation within tightly defined parameters.
Collectively, the two series blur boundaries between chaos and control, reflecting a continual fascination with how rhythm, both audible or visual, can structure experience and foster emergent beauty. The works ask us to consider how repetition and variation shape perception, seeking to create a meditative space where viewers can sense the resonance of pattern in daily life.
