Period 4: In the Web (1990 - 2000)

Structure and nature are separate icons at first, but soon the organic and the artificial interact. Man-made structures are implanted in natural ones, collapse and decay.

Man as a single figure disappears and is replaced by a mass being, a tightly woven pattern of figures. This STREAM OF SOULS inhabits the fabric of space, gets caught in nets and snares, entwines itself around pillars and beams. The SOULSTREAM strives for the apparent freedom of upper regions, where the architectural structure disappears but THE STRUCTURE OF THE STREAM becomes distinct.

Horizons pile up in a formation of waves. Structures liquefy and waves of time roll over the sea of images, while the tides of sight spread out PATTERNS OF LIFE on the shores of the inner eye.
