There exists in your work a compelling dialogue between control and contingency, particularly when comparing the precision of your still lifes with the fluidity of your abstract compositions; how do you articulate this duality within your practice, and does it reflect a broader philosophical inquiry into the limits of rational systems in capturing human experience?
There has always been a dialogue between control and contingency in my work, but I've come to understand it differently over time. Early on, I thought of them as opposing forces—something to be balanced or resolved. Now I think they're asking the same question from different directions.
