Inspired by the Gestalt Theory of Visual Perception – where the mind tends to find order and logic in what the eyes see – I design patterns to instigate a dialogue between form and surface. I use lines and curves to distort and add dynamism to the surface of the work, and I use seams and negative spaces to create contrast and tension within a form.
