Order and Change

Standardised motifs are articulated introducing complexity in their spatial ordering. The motifs are derived from geometric shapes which, in these paintings, represent ‘order’.   Fibonacci and other ordering sequences are used to create series of sequences in the organisation of the different structures. This is constructed in a way that is not immediately obvious while adhering to non-geometric but rules based organisation, enabling unpredictable spatial readings.

‘Eye Dazzler’ permutates an element according to a set of rules that determine both ordering and colour. 

Cyclical sequences order the forms in these artworks. Changes are introduced by superimposing independently structured colour arrangements, which also serve as the starting point for ideas relating to Order and Change.

Fiorentina explores luminosity through colour. In other artworks transparency refracts and reveals surfaces.
