About the work
A small mark can be encountered on its own. Follow another, and a sequence begins. Step back, and a diagonal rhythm comes forward from the same field.
The marks remain where they are. What we attend to can change their relationship to everything around them. An isolated impression may become an interruption, a beginning, or one part of a longer movement.
William James's account of selective attention gave this study its starting point. There is no hidden image to solve and no prescribed order of looking. The work leaves room to move between the individual mark, a larger rhythm, and the intervals that give each its place.

Its material qualities are a digital interpretation.
