The world thus appears to be a complicated tissue of events in which connections of different kinds alternate, overlap or combine and thereby determine the texture of the whole. All phenomena are processes, connections, all is in flux, and at moments this flux is visible.
Peter Mattiessen, The Snow Leopard
Artist Statement for the “Transitory Space” series: The work I create first originates as a response to overlooked space that is in a continual state of change. In everyone there is a sense of flux and a familiarity with this type of space.
Transitory spaces have a messy human energy that is always in the present yet constantly changing. I find them endlessly interesting, alive places where there is a great deal of beauty and fragility. They are temporary monuments to the ephemeral nature of existence.
