Marks as Metaphor

I see colors over black and white in my mind's eye. My color sketches are laid down with urgency; a frantic dissemination of acrylics, gel pens, crayons, and pencils over a black and white print on paper. The marks I make are metaphors for more complex patterns and structures that will take shape in later work. Indeed, the same transformation occurs with the original photograph and even with my color choices. Everything becomes an opportunity for transformation from simple to complex. Much of my coding has been done to create algorithms that support this idea.
