Response

'Response' works, made of five sub-series, are my way to investigate and reveal my own reacting and
responding attempts and the underlying potential mechanisms of response, without judgement and hopefully with a bit of humor, inviting others to examine them and encouraging others to self-reflect. All of our billions of individual, communal, national and global reactions and responses dictate the current state of the world. Huge as this is, there isn't much mainstream investigation into looking into these topics. Awareness of how we react or respond just might lead us to think twice, to respond better, and, in turn, to transform our world.

The five series that examine immediate emotional responses and the processes of contemplation and calculation (historic and current systems) in more thought-out responses are:

1. Reactions (pieces explore knee-jerk reactions and immediate denial)
2. Model of Mulling: The Pascaline (pieces explore this historical system of calculation invented by Blaise Pascal in 1642)
3. Model of Mulling: Abacus and Increments (pieces explore this historical system of calculation and units and increments in general)
4. Model of Mulling: REM Sleep (pieces explore the swirling of subconscious thoughts and processes while we dream as we 'sleep on it' before responding)
5. Models of Mullers (pieces illustrate a human portrait with a particular object that has helped that person to come to a realization. The title of each piece is the realization)
