Number One (2007)

Number One engages the experience of elasticity between varying states of mind The contrasts in this multiimage piece shifts between frenetic chaos and calm order between an intense central focus and a diffuse periphery between hard and soft fixed and fluid concrete and abstract are all developed not in opposition to each other but rather in an interwoven multilayered relation to each other There is never one set of oppositions but rather a dance of relationships between contrasting states This is one way to think about how a mind works at any moment there is never just one thing or feeling or perception in life there is always a magnetized and elastic pushpull among many things at once The flow of our attention among these things is our mind Number One is one way to map a few moments in such a mind Number One is a single channel evolution of the 6 channel video installation Convection
