Bend mosaics

New work at the Unicorn coffeehouse in Evanston

New work is hanging at the Unicorn for the month of February. New ungrouted mixed media pieces consider the significance of 'noticing' as an organizing force in mental life. These moments of noticing take place within contexts—the internal contexts of personal history and world knowledge, and the external or social contexts to which we are so keenly attuned.  Fragments of vitreous glass combine to form a lens that focuses, refracts or illuminates the flow of experience, perhaps prompting a viewer to notice.

Bend is a new series inspired by the dynamic and gorgeous patterns formed by light refracted through wavy glass.  Colors weave together in seamless patterns.  A tiny change in perspective by the viewer leads to an entirely new and surprising pattern.  'Bend' then also explores the idea of how narratives are shaped in unique and spectacular ways.
