Artist statement take 2

Haven't really altered much at all, if you see any errors, tell me:

Life is full of chaos. Just under the surface of seemingly simple matters is a whole slew of complications. And it is in this chaos I find myself running from point A to point B trying experience life while trying to get through it. Sometimes it seems overwhelming. But there is something in the midst. And there in lies my concentration, in the midst. In the midst of chaotic shapes, colors, and patterns lies method and reason, and in the end, a discernible figure. My goal is to make what looks like happenstance and random become something more to those who look beyond the surface, who gaze deeper. I have chosen to primarily utilize acrylic paints in my exploration, but have also integrated sometimes less than ordinary elements to my canvases, such as leaves, coffee, fabric, and tinfoil to help in adding dimension to the pieces.
