The In the Studio series began as a contemplation on conceptual blending, a cognitive theory about the fluidity of thought and connections. Whenever I talk to an artist about their work, I always wish there was a “Creative Function MRI” –a machine that could provide images of their thoughts at a moment in time in their artistic development. As for me, the studio is a place associated with my production. I have used it in this series as a metaphor and a linchpin to this work.
