During Anderson’s paintings, other randomly generated paintings simultaneously emerge on nearby surfaces.

The “Chance Compositions” form abstract traces resulting from accidental or non-intentional gestures.

This creative process echoes that of John Cage. It parallels the 'Many-Worlds Interpretation' of quantum mechanics, proposed by physicist Hugh Everett at Princeton University in 1957. According to Everett's theory, no real choice is ever made in nature; instead, all possibilities occur. Whenever a quantum event with multiple possible outcomes takes place, every outcome happens, but in different, independent versions of the universe.
