Research
Thinking through artistic practice.
Research on visual structure, attention, and perception, alongside papers, working methods, and ongoing notes.
01 / Research Overview
Visual structure, attention, and perception.
Research grows from questions encountered in making and viewing images: how a visual field holds together, how attention moves, and how complex compositions remain perceptually coherent.
02 / Papers & Preprints
The Visual Stability Problem
A Node–Path–Field Framework for Perceptual Organization in Visual Composition. Public preprint, April 12, 2026.
DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19543833 ↗
03 / Working Methods
Studio observation and visual analysis.
The Ming Working Method organizes observations and decisions during painting. ASAM examines the redistribution of attention in complex visual environments.
04 / Research Notes
Ongoing research.
Working notes connect painting, structural analysis, writing, and independent music-making. Drafts and interim reports are distinguished from published work.
