​Network of the Deep explores the elements that connect matter, memory and the human experience. Inspired by the intricate neuron drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal, this painting brings together an intricate network of scientific illustration, ancient symbolic systems, equations and layers of marks that echo Sanskrit, textile patterns and cosmic networks. I wanted it to reveal how similar patterns repeat across vastly different scales.

With carved pumice, textured surfaces, and partially obscured layers, Network of the Deep is a contemplation on the complexity of communication, what we understand, what we inherit, and what remains for future generations to interpret.
