We like to feel like we are in control of our lives and how we go about them, in control of how we present ourselves to the world. We like to believe that we have influence but this is rarely the case. We learn to live with this sense of uncertainty that we want to keep beneath the surface. On the edge of losing all control, on the edge of spinning out, we spin around at such a speed we don't know how to stop.

Pattern can be used to express repetition, a sense of order; a sense of order that you may not be feeling. These pieces require a huge amount of control, of concentration, of repetition. They are ordered, the surface divided and structured, my own attempt at control.
