Inside the citadel of rational analysis is here redefined imaginative synthesis. A new series of works reverses the conventional arrow of creativity, extracting ideal, canonical human forms not from the imagination but directly from thousands of concrete particulars, by brute force, synopted through a humanized machine. In transforming the idea of the imaginative we transform the idea of the biological, revealing it to be intelligible only when viewed as a human being looks upon another.
