2018. “Ideograph”, Watercolor mineral pigments on puzzle-pieced arches cotton paper on panel, 36x48”.

Ideograms within an overarching narrative- an interrelated framework which discusses the connection between physical and metaphysical being. From realism at the top, scrolling down to become abstract- the top half discusses the metaphysical in terms of physical realism, and bottom half discussed the physical in terms of abstraction. The middle part blends the two. This flips common ideas of what kind of language is necessary to express the two realms in "heaven and earth"- the outer ineffable, and the inner relatable. Neither are in actuality separate or combined, neither can be understood in neat dichotomies. As I created each section, subjects related to knowing, existence, boundaries and infinity were brought up and discussed.
