Collective Thought Patterns
.
Digital Inkjet Print, forms and dimensions varied, 2022
Using line painting over photographs, these images illustrate states of communal cognition, metaphorical neural networks as image and gestural line expressions producing expanded photography. The state of mind when looking at an object and capturing it, then superimposing an associated thought process. These works were made on a residency at LKV Trondheim inspired by cohesive social systems in Norway.
