My practice revolves around exploring patterns and textures, secret codes, poetry and streams of consciousness, hidden vulnerability. All appearing in the repeatable shape of a circle. More importantly known as the ‘monad’. The original unit of one, a dot with an ever-expanding circle around it.

The Ancient Greeks taught that all other numbers and therefore expansive logic comes from the monad. Art, Maths, and Science all intervene within human experience considering they all start with the monad. Divine proportion, the Golden ratio, and Fibonacci sequences alike; a circle with no beginning or end exists in everything, everywhere, all the time. Time itself is a circle.

I have extended the monad to an exploration in language and communication. The words are not the focus of each piece; the monadic language is a crackable code in the same way it is a writable and readable one for me. I hold importance in the long and repetitive actions resonating in many of my works. Creating each piece feels therapeutic in the sense that what I have written is a reflective reading of what I feel and experience. It can be harsh or fair; regardless, the careful creation washes over the words and produces something beautiful and incapsulating, rather than weighing on the words.
