Thesis: They are everywhere, if you know how to look.
My work is about a phenomenon called pareidolia, of seeing meaningful images in random or ambiguous things that we see, like a face in a tree or a rabbit in the cloud. I wanted to recreate that feeling with working with wood that I screen printed. Doing different layers of visibility and non visibility to create this effect and working with the wood and what I see in it.
