The project 'Invariance' is directed towards establishing the basis for a visual language to characterize experience that varies both spatially and temporally. The time-based piece is a description of an experience, a sequence of events common in doing creative work: some initial disturbance, an unstructured drawing phase, the longer drawn out work and discovery, up to some stillness, and then a statement of a resolution. This piece and also an associated set of drawings address a set of issues at the core of art-level problems: discrete, language-oriented spaces versus continuous, image spaces, the conflicts that arise between the two, and some proposed solutions.
