My Emphasis process is a collaboration with the medium and an exercise of cognitive processing. I study reflections of light, projected shadows, mottles of coloration, and texture on a surface. Then, I augment the most distinctive features with a tool. Locations are chosen sequentially, in the order of realization. Naturally, my applications begin to suggest representational imagery, like finding shapes in passing clouds. This human tendency to project logical identifications into amorphous visual stimuli is known as paredolia. Concepts of an idealized composition morph subsequentially with efforts to carve out the previous. The Emphasis cycle is bound only to the physical distortion limits of the medium it applies to.
