SHAPEDRIFT
The patterns occur at differing depths; sometimes a pattern is made in a single color on the background of another, other times it consists of several layers which send the senses into a maze-like jungle. Some of the patterns resemble a biological ornamentation - Brownian molecular movements - blood vessels, invisible traces left by falling leaves, water marks in limestone, frog dances, whirlwinds or spermatozoas’ path through a soft darkness. They calm in their constancy and alarm in their variation.
