Perturbations of Organic Perception by Elemental Idealism (P.O.P.E.I)

P.O.P.E.I. explores the paradigm between two and three-dimensional artistic expression through ideas of elemental individuality and collective perception.

Artists typically create individual works in series-each piece an elemental idealism.  By arranging these elemental idealisms in a series of super-imposed panel art units (PAU), qualities of layering, transparency, and spatial three-dimensionality, create a perturbation of the organic perception of each observer.

A “new media”, based on individual arrangement rather than materiality or technology, becomes a new vehicle for re-interpreting art.

Is there Truth in Perception / Idealism and Lies in Idealism / Perception?  P.O.P.E.I. interchangeably “toggles” between these opposite extremes.
