Halsey Chait

Artist Statement: I draw with pen and ink on paper and panel because it is the most immediate and meditative channel for revealing my visions of portals to universes within and without. Using the center and an outer boundary as guides, the drawings feature dense aggregations of marks that bloom outwards, inspired by the mathematical rules that govern the growth processes of lifeforms and molecular structures. Improvising with a lexicon of primeval and scientific biomorphic symbols, the drawings weave together the repetitive gestures of music, the mutating iterations of evolution, the turbulence of swarming organisms, and the architectural networks of vibrating space.
