I am interested in the diachronic development of abstraction, how it evolves, transforms, and gathers new meanings across cultures and time. I am particularly drawn to an anthropophagic understanding of abstraction, abstraction as an embodied, sensorial, and socially grounded language, where form, line, shape, color, and composition are not mere representations of experience, but are constituted by and of our perceptual engagement with the world.
