Playdate is a series of small abstract works that revisits and reimagines an earlier collaborative piece developed during my residency at the Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling. In that project, children were invited to co-direct a digital composition in Illustrator, making decisions about color, form, and arrangement while I guided the process. Playdate builds on that spirit of improvisation and shared authorship—but this time, the play is self-directed. These works mark a conscious return to geometric abstraction as a space of possibility, where I test the limits of color and shape to explore what emerges when intuition leads. Rendered in a defined but joyful palette, each piece balances spontaneity with structure, inviting viewers to consider abstraction as both exploration and memory.

Playdate Study No. 6 pulses with rhythm and contrast, its interlocking forms oscillating between gesture and geometry. A central field of wavy verticals—lavender, orange, mint—interrupts the rectilinear grid, giving the composition a sense of vibration or soundwave. A pale pink circle perches near the upper right, while a mint triangle at the bottom-left creates a dynamic diagonal pull across the surface. The transparent overlay flattens and reframes the layers beneath, reinforcing the sense that this piece is about how visual information moves—across planes, across time. It feels spontaneous but deliberate, like a puzzle that solves itself as you build it. The palette is both sweet and grounded, inviting the viewer to lean in and trace its internal logic.
