Artist's Statement:
One of the principal objectives in doing this wrok is to avoid, as far as possible, the burden of creativity. To do so, I select to work with geometric arrangements, the rigidity of the straight line, pre-established measurements. And I also choose to work with the predictability, and the chance, of chemical reactions under different conditions. This allows me to be emotionally detached from the work. And this, in turn, enables me to gain perspective to explore the depth of what, otherwise, could be a quite shallow process.
