A Theoretical Framework
A theoretical framework for my work has emerged through the redesign of this website. Rather than an a priori methodology of artistic production, this is based on phenomenological apprehension. At heart, "Non-Hierarchical Perception" (NHP) is a perceptual condition that comes and goes, sometimes independently of the perceiver’s will. This allows for new functions to reveal themselves within an object or entity, without intrinsic functions losing their quality. The two consequences that derive from this approach are presented here, for clarity, in separate essays.
The first essay is "Trembling Suspension": it refers to the state of perceiving, within an entity or object, a new function coexisting with more intrinsically associated functions. These non-resolving coexistences can be sustained perceptually, even transcending the very entity or object. Coherence among intrinsic and extrinsic functions is not necessary.

The other is "Field Logic": among several entities, no single one organizes the others, and coherence emerges from bidirectional relationships rather than from a central pole.
The first is perceived within an entity; the second, between entities. This is why they do not exclude each other: a field may be made up of diverse Trembling Suspensions.
You read this, and you get the whereabouts of my work, so far.
