Things I’m thinking about and looking at:

• Archaeological diagrams (especially of weaving and tapestry construction, and diagrams of ancient walls where every stone is color-coded)
  

• Game boards
  

• The brick-like composition of my collage books
  

• Mosaics and textiles, and the way they mirror the digital / bitmap process in their simplification and crystallization of images
  

• Quilts — especially Noah’s Ark quilts, and the Amish geometric ‘butterfly’ postcard (shown above)
  

• Surfaces that fold over (scrolls, textiles, Mobius strip) where you can see multiple surfaces at once
  

• Translating collage-books into paintings; rather than a computer algorithm deciding ‘how to pixelate an image,’ I’m making translation decisions square-by-square as I move across the grid
