Some questions need visualizations to help answer them: Aside from mathematical calculations Albert Einstein used visualization or what is known as his characteristic “thought experiments” to answer probing questions about the nature of the universe and the universe of nature. The diagrams of physicist Richard Feynman are known world-wide; what appear to be simple ‘cartoon-like drawings’ delineate mathematical calculations that are extremely complicated. Feynman’s diagrams have been described as giving physicists a “quick, intuitive way to organize and understand difficult calculations” in a way that is “disarmingly straightforward and subtly complex”. Drawing is the unmediated expression of intuitive insight; it provides a means with which one can freely and clearly articulate or gain understanding of complexity through a language of mark-making, gesture and tonal shifts. My current work utilizes primarily drawing to explore the correlation of quantum mechanics, cognitive science, neuroscience and mind/brain phenomena. I am interested in how the mechanisms of the mind/brain work to form an individual’s experience of the world. I propose my drawings as intuitive visualizations that arrive out of ruminations on cross-pollinations of art and science, thought experiments of a sort that probe for a deeper understanding of the totality of the human experience. |
