Psychescapes

The Psychescapes project focuses on creating motifs, symbols and scenarios that represent emotions, ongoing and universal (human) or individualized, experientially induced.   Instead of giving a verbal response to express feeling, these images present an illustration, however abstract, that exposes the mood.  In some ways, the pieces are anti-narrative in that emotions are not explained through a story of circumstances, but instead as pictograms.

For example, a grouping of sticks, flotsam, may symbolize a sense of foreboding, of something closing in on oneself, a pushing into with nowhere to go.  A grouping of flowing stripes nestling perfectly into one another expresses free flowing creativity and energy acting upon itself and growing, but these forms, wrapped within a rope fence, may suggest a lock down on that freedom, a containment.
