Description
2013
framed
I continue to use a combination of scumbling and glazing to create misty and poetic images. However, I am using the catenary (�the curve that an idealized hanging chain or cable assumes under its own weight when supported only at its ends�) as the structure in these compositions. Into and onto that mathematic structure I inject a particular element of natural abstraction and form created by energy- particularly atmospheric and organic forms. I want to explore my relationship to science and my own creative energy.
For this particular series I decided to start with vertical stripes using the Fibonacci (�the first two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are 0 and 1,and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two.�) numbers of 5, 8, and 13 to determine their width. I then added the catenary curve to the �equation�. Fibonacci numbers are seen repeatedly in natural forms. I wanted to see if they could be useful in my abstract compositions.
