The "Naked Colors" series explores the intrinsic beauty of natural patterns found in the synthetic process of creating paint. Each piece of work documents the chemical amalgamation of pigments, resin and solvents as they bond to create a single color. During this brief instance, an intricate system of patterns, governed by the proportions of its variables, begins to form.

These patterns are alien in composition yet they subconsciously look familiar as their basic module of replication can be observed in nature. What initially looks like chaos can be disseminated into fractal geometries, nebulous formations, or swirling patterns. These same fractals account for the natural formation of mountains in Tibet, down to the microscopic veining patterns of bacteria growth in petri dishes. Like the Great Red Spot on Jupiter or the suspended Eagle Nebula, these paint swirls and nebulous patterns abide by the same laws of nature despite their man-made composition.
