I create through a process I call Iterative Expression. Iteration is the repetition of a process or procedure performed on a set of inputs. This is distinguished from simple repetition by the fact that each iteration must be different, even if only slightly, from the one before it. Each iteration defines a new possible variation, combination or transformation. Iteration is not about repetition; it is about evolution. One could say my work is "about emotion", "about color", "about form" or "about stroke" because all of these elements could be identified as evolving variations within my set.

Iteration assumes change, whether chaotic, random or purposeful. By holding some elements constant, the differences between iterations are exposed and explored. In my art, the chaotic element is subconscious thoughts and emotions. These chaotic emotions are then quantifiable and comparable by examination of their effect on the iterations.
