Rumination—Chaos Theory explores the difficulty of concentrating when thought becomes a repeating loop. Thousands of hand-painted lines fill fragmented geometric cells, pulling attention in competing directions. Their repetition invites a closer look, while the intensity of the color and pattern can become overwhelming. The eye wants to look away, yet keeps getting drawn back.
Deep blues and reds surround bright passages of yellow, orange, and white. Each shift in direction offers another path to follow, echoing the small choices and connections we revisit while wondering how we arrived where we are. One thought opens into another. Looking harder brings more to examine, without necessarily bringing resolution.
The tension within this painting is the need to interrupt that cycle. Remaining caught in thought can become its own form of chaos, consuming attention while keeping us from taking action. Looking away becomes a deliberate choice: a moment to step out of the loop, return to the present, and move forward. The painting invites us to notice both what draws us in and when we need to turn away.
