"Although descriptive in line, my work is
informed primarily by the most demanding of all non-linear systems: human civilization.
With the constant interaction of countless individuals, politics and economics form a
system so vast that alongside it, my linear systems wind up seeming overrun. Yet as with
other complex systems, my work can be treated formally as long as its limits are
understood. Within certain limits it is possible to detect the same mathematical patterns
that have been recorded in other multifaceted systems. But with the endless complexity of
humanity and economics, drastic world issues such as disease and famine are destined to
obstruct these patterns. Such perpetual factors construe why its order is often debased by
strict nuances. Parallel with society, my work lends itself to
scientific study. I envision in my art human development from the inception of material
force, and a nonobjective account of secular divisions. I understand that the science
depicted through my touch is inexact: board developments can be traced, but complete
knowledge of all conditions is impossible."
--Victor Hsieh, March 1999, New York City
