Darel Carey's artistic process starts with lines that interconnect, leading to a transformational artwork. Each line builds on the previous one, creating a cycle of repetition that alters viewer perception. As the spacing of lines changes, unexpected shapes and visions emerge, prompting the viewer to face the distorted nature of visual reality. Carey's art explores the tension between illusion and reality, prompting introspection on trust in perceptions. Philosophers have long questioned the nature of perception and reality, aspects that Carey's work illustrates through its complex and often unsettling compositions.
"Every single line I place is based off where the last line was, which is based off the line before it, which is based off the line before that."
"Each line that comes after speaks directly to the line that came before it in a cycle of repetition and incremental change."
"What was once a wall with a smattering of straight lines becomes something else-something confusing, even terrifying."
"Carey's art occupies an uncomfortable realm for us humans because it walks the line between daydream and delusion."
