PASSAGES

​

Using the language of geometry within a narrow framework, this work explores concepts of mechanics, natural phenomenon, ecology, and natural and designed systems. The forms within reference a varied list of sources, such as a pearl slowly forming within a bivalve shell, the grafting of plants, the rise and fall of the tides, the surface of a strawberry, or the concept of infinity and perpetual motion. The stripes could be layers of earth or segmented time. The compositions feature crossing pathways, complementary forces of yin and yang, and interconnected paths flowing through undefined space. Each composition remains esoteric, firmly planted in abstraction. The external world is filtered through a personal lens. Representative works reveal transcendent qualities of creativity, the ebb and flow of interconnected forces and the mechanisms of the natural world.
