  • "How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour, and that one, is what we are doing." ––Annie Dillard

    Deliberately or otherwise, we make choices in attempt to find balance and mediate the pressures of our lives. As individuals our sense of agency seems to vary as widely as our personal preferences do. And the air doesn’t care what the sound has to say—it just waves in response to what moves it.

    Pressure Mediation is a creative practice. It explores the generative process of value expression by Mother Nature––through multiple mediums of exchange.

    The artworks derived from this process represent the fundamental principles that drive us as individual members of a global society. Visualising patterns of value and the incremental changes in our focus of attention that compound over time and shape our expectations of what's to come.

"The integrity of our identity requires a locus of agency that is honored by the collective but cultivated in solitude."
