In mathematics transformations are utilized to aid in solving difficult equations by rephrasing them in simpler terms. As such it is difficult to form a mental picture our universe in more than three dimensions. Some theorists have speculated there could be as many as twenty-six dimensions. Visualization, perhaps even comprehension, as we know it can’t succeed here. I don’t pretend to know what the purpose of these dimensions are or what they may contain. What interests me is their proximity to our own notion of reality. If indeed they do exist, and are not a mathematical mistake, they are here, right here millimeters next to us. These paintings depict what if we could perceive these dimensions visually, would they be pure information, alternate realities or something incomprehensible. There are no answers available. Here I’ve attempted to repurpose the tool of transformation to depict the universe in two dimensions.
