Unprompted

Where Thought Surfaces Before Language

Unprompted begins with fragments of memory, partial figures, paintings, and sketches, the work grows through extension rather than planning. Original drawings and paintings evolve into more dimensional forms.

Many of the figures seem caught in the moment before a thought fully forms, before language arrives.
