In the series Flight Patterns, I continue to revisit and extend images of birds, wings, and circles. Although in flight, birds appear to be moving in random patterns. Studies show that there is indeed an order to them. My paintings of this theme reveal the beauty of balancing a random placement of images and the use of pattern repetition. The juxtaposing of these two elements invokes a harmonious visual rhythm. What may seem random on one scale may actually reveal order and purpose on another, not unlike what our own life events have to offer.
