Formation of Mental Objects (01)

Tangential Thinking (01)
Ink and gouache on paper.
36x24 inches. 2010.

The word “thought” is simply defined as the “formation of mental objects.” I like the efficiency of this definition, as it reminds me of the “chitta vritti” I’ve been working with in some of my other paintings. I see each of these little ink bursts as discreet objects—perhaps an abstract representation of those mental objects (thoughts) that ceaselessly bounce around in our heads.
