Diffraction Print

"Diffraction" is the seventh of this series of abstract, drawings and was created in studio in Mountain View, CA. This work furthers the shift in the evolution of the drawings in this series toward tighter, more orderly compositions as I began a deeper study of consciousness and spirituality and sought to absorb and distill complex information in preparation for writing a book. This drawing was inspired by my initial study of quantum mechanics and the tenant of quantum theory that light and matter can exhibit properties of both a wave and a particle - known as wave-particle duality, a mind-bending concept that would come to play an important role in my mind as I considered various ways consciousness is affective in our reality. With this and all of the drawings in this series, the first step was to move through line drawing (by hand) of shapes, forms and spaces - using pencil, scale and compass - allowing the composition to unfold intuitively but intervening at points with algorithms and formulae invented in the moment. When that stage feels complete, I begin the extensive and laborious phase of color testing and applying the color. Using PrismaColor pencils, I search for a certain feeling of rightness, "listening" to and feeling into various color combinations until I sense the right composition emerge. I love working with PrismaColor due to its velvety finish in full saturation and the possibility that the viewer might be able to see each stroke of my hand and connect with the intense energy that went into creating the work.
