What is your work ultimately about? – Question 10

Organisation. I have a deep fascination, indeed need for organisation. We perceive the universe as organised, whether we think holistically or in a dialectic way. I do not mean in a teleologically sense but as a spontaneous falling into place, an inherent ordering of things, as opposed to a state of homogenous and uniform chaos. I am giving a personal aesthetic to the concept of organisation fed by many ideas and fields of interest. My work is specifically about giving organisation an aesthetic rather than seeing it as a process to somewhere or something. I set rules from which an aesthetic statement arises that embodies a view of unity between disparate fields of knowledge.
