These canvases employ principles of cognitive neuroscience as a means to use ambiguity to activate imaginative thinking.
In more technical terms:
I basically painted while daydreaming. When things started becoming recognizable I would stop and do my best to obstruct that recognition. I did this to prevent the images from providing any definitive, conclusive meaning. Ultimately, I simply wanted to create work that would only activate spontaneous retrieval of remote memory associations rather than the quick retrieval of near associations that occurs when we see things we recognize.
