Describe your idea and concept of your work in relation to the festival outlines:

We all have a "set of assumptions" about everything we do. My work takes that thought as a title, a direction, and then uses 3D modeling and bitmap editing software to attempt to visually describe my assumptions about visual communication in terms/forms derived from the mathematical discipline of topology.

What kind of communication approach do you use?

I am attempting to address the idea of ideas ... to present a visualization that breaks down how I think about how I communicate through my artwork. It is my intent to have the strong 3D nature of this work speak to the viewer in a provocative manner: "Think about how you think ... analyze what you take in and consider how visual (and other) communication changes how you act!"

What are in your opinion concrete benefits to the society because of your communication?

My assumption about the work "set of assumptions" is that the thoughtful viewer will be challenged to question the nature of the work and, in short order, make sense of the message: meta-analysis of one's processes of considering the world-at-large is not an option ... it is essential.

What did you personally learn from creating your submitted work?

As with much of my artwork I was challenged to take this idea and turn it into a powerful visual that, in my judgment, was something that would speak to the issue of filtering, of making sense of, the effect of what we know, what we understand about our world, on how we act.

Why is your work, GOOD communication WORK?

This is a powerful visual work. The techniques are well accomplished and the uses of vivid colors, a strong range of grays, of believable 3D space, and well rendered yet ambiguous 3D forms will attract viewers and cause them to consider how the visualization and the title might lead them to be reflective of their own behavioral, decision-making practices.

Where and how do you intent do implement your work?

As with a number of works in a series now under development, this work will be part of a series of exhibitions in India which focuses on more clearly understanding the world around us and the processes of elaborating responses, and solutions, to social-cultural issues.

Did your intervention had an effect on other Media. If yes, describe the effect? (Has other media reported on it- how? Were you able to change other media with your work- how?)
