As thought is a precedent for action, to see a thought, a similar action might be observed. Initially an experiment of rendering what is thought of as spontaneous, Space Between Thoughts is an attempt to visualize what occurs before the action of something becoming anything.

​

Utilizing psychological testing and formal fine arts media as starting points, Reyes realizes this form of unhindered cognition by illustrating six trials composed of forty individual sheets of paper each, with thirteen different media inconstantly. Quickly rendering pieces before conscious doubt kicks in, Reyes taps into the flux between what can and cannot be grasped by the rational mind. By digitally collating the individual illustrations into a continuous loop animation, a sense of finality is released and an unbridled intuitive energy emerges.

​

Recording one's spontaneous gesture by illustrating and connecting finite works into a continuum, and making technical and reflective notes within this process reference a personal desire to make sense of unknown spaces and a collective desire to harbor nature. Through this form and gesture, Reyes arrives at a poetic consciousness of the artistic process, and a recognition of the nature of thoughts.
