Reality or perception of it?

When thoughts and stressors begin spinning around inside my head, one of the best ways to relieve the anxiety  is to create, to get words or shapes out of my head and into the real world. My work is a depiction of visual and emotional reality using shapes, colors and forms. By using simple reiterations to conceptualize life's experiences into geometric abstractions, I encourage the viewer to see the contrast between reality and individual perception of it. If perception is the lens through which we view reality, how reality appears to us says a lot about our perceptions and ultimately, says a lot about who we are.
