My starting point in this series had been a desire to find a visual method of representing the structure of thought. Not the thoughts themselves, but how they come and go, their flow, how one feeds or intrudes on another. In this sense, the shapes are not representative of anything in particular, and certainly not specific thoughts. They are chosen instead to suggest the movement of thought, connections, and the speed or slowness at which they sometimes seem to arise.
While still fascinated by this idea, I also find it impossible; noticing one thought invariably creates a second; it’s like trying to trap oxygen in your hand as if it were a bug. But there are still rhythms, interruptions, cadences, and contrasts. This attempt has culminated in a vortex of such forms, suggesting both a momentum of thinking and the kind of form which results from the desire to visually represent thought; ultimately, the document of a thought cannot exist separate from the thought itself.
