From a young age, Ardie found himself drawn to these phenomena in the corners of everyday life. It wasn’t unusual for him to get caught in a meditative gaze for periods of time. There was an otherworldly yet obvious, uncomplicated truth he could feel but not explain. These phenomena were born from the collision of chance and perception. They emerged from and subsided back into nothing in the blink
of an eye.
With time came the realization that they were invisible to almost everyone else. This was not because they were hidden, but because they went unnoticed. That’s when Ardie became fascinated with the idea of transforming unseen phenomena into artwork. Unlike a stunning landscape or feat of architecture, these phenomena never sought attention. Instead, they become rewards for those who
notice them.
