This work is an early twentieth century painting that is a part of my Perception Studies series.
Kandinsky’s Brain: A Monochromatic Improvisation of Yellow-Red-Blue
Monoprint on archival paper.
This monoprint is based on Kandinsky’s Yellow-Red-Blue (1925), now in Paris, at the Centre Georges Pompidou. Unlike the monoprint, Kandinsky’s painting’s geometry, color, flow, and abstract shapes are evocative of grapheme-color synesthesia. Indeed, it seems to suggest a person experiencing vivid ‘synesthetic’ imagery.

Not My Mother’s Landscape (2002)
Historically, landscapes were often sentimental or romanticized. This work challenges traditional approaches. As a painting, it rejects realism. As a social statement, it acknowledges we live in a changed environment and are rethinking how humans relate to Earth Systems.

Innovation and Visualization: Trajectories, Strategies, and Myths (Consciousness, Literature and the Arts 1)
The first in detail account that relates the development of visual images to innovations in art, communication, scientific research, and technological advance.
In a 2005 review of Innovation and Visualization: Trajectories, Strategies, and Myths, John Danvers wrote:
“It is this kind of historical insight and connectivity which makes Innovation and Visualization such a stimulating text to read. With its combination of scholarship and lucidity, fascinating information and provocative argument, this lively and intelligent book will be welcomed by the academic community and by many general readers, who will enjoy Ione’s eloquent cross-fertilisation of ideas and her healthy disregard for disciplinary boundaries.” [Full review here]

Not String Theory, But … (2002)
Shades of blue, bronze, and white tones.
String theory modifies our understanding of spacetime and the gravitational force. This painting indirectly comments on the spacetime modification, which is characterized by remarkable rearrangements of its basic structure. According to the theory, this requires the fabric of spacetime to tear apart and subsequently reconnect.

Dreaming of London (Sketch)
Overall, the theme of this oil sketch aligns with the question of how we see, remember, and reconstruct visual experience. Its content uses atmosphere as a perceptual condition, giving the image the feeling of a fleeting perception, a memory, or a dream rather than a fixed scene.
