With Mind Manors, i am attempting to construct a metaphor for the way my mind works, or in some cases, does not. Layered above a nebulous(星际的，星云的) ground are the flowers found in much of my work, both a translation of the organic world, as counterpoint(美术：对比物 音乐：对位法) to the cerebral architecture or headspace(顶空，顶端空间).

The room/containers are areas of my mind, conscious and unconscious, layered and maze(迷宫) like, some with doors and stairwells(楼梯间，楼梯井) to make them accessible, others simply boxes, unfinished and empty.

Wandering through this architecture are the bunny and skull, as seen in much of my work. In this case, their roles are that of the active mind and the internal observer. The active mind is seen searching for inspiration or ideas, though it is often asleep or unconscious. The observer is always there, eyes wide open, aware without judging.

This is a rare series for me in that i did very little "research," as opposed to the Jim Jones or Audubon series. Instead, I worked more directly from my personal experience. I did very little in terms of sketching, opting for immediacy and an almost subconscious compositional style. In a way the pieces are Rebus puzzles, using a personal vocabulary of imagery to transmit(传送，转送) stories from my subconscious.
