On what we think we see in vague stimuli turns out to be something that our minds made up. We see bunnies, bearded men, and Elvis in formless clouds and smoke. We hear words and animal noises in garbled audio (like records played backward). This phenomena is known as pareidolia. The mere suggestion of what we should percieve helps us percieve it. Our hopes and dreams and even our most desperate wishes can be revealed by what our minds form from these vague shapes. My art focuses and plays on this psychological element.
The interplay between the pareidoliac elemenets competing for visual focii is one of my many goals. This can be described by the interplay between one face and another face (that may be overlapping) competing for attention. This can often be disturbing like bodily deformities but I strive do downplay any uncomfortable deformity identifications and focus on the aesthetics and beauty of our associations with faces, shapes, and lines. We have a deep relationship (for good and for bad) with all of those things since their identifications are felt in the world.
To appreciate my art is to enjoy your discoveries in what objects and faces you find. Many people have pointed out one face or another that I've never seen before in my own art. But, one of the most fascinating aspects to enjoying my art is that many people find their own theme to my pictures only to discover that their "interpretation" is more about them than it is about me. So discover youself in my work, I know I have. :)
