The context with which we receive information determines its relevance. Information deemed relevant in one domain may not pass the significance threshold in another and go unnoticed.

Domain dependence is the failure to generalize relevant information from one context to another. This work explores the constraints domain dependence places on thought and problem solving.

Malformed explores this concept literally, through a technique known as domain warping. Spatial domains are warped, folded and permuted to created stunningly complex compositions melting into one another in real time.  

Each instance of this work is a completely unique composition selected from a carefully designed parameter space.
