I am trying to apply formal concepts from mathematics, logic or science in my work. One of my goals is to reach a balance between these formal aspects, artistic freedom and the resulting aesthetic appearance.
For some years I was experimenting with the golden section. If you apply the golden section to one distance you split this distance into two parts. The two parts have then the ratio called PHI (or roughly 1.618). You can apply this procedure also to a square or to a rectangle. If you do this recursively you can create many shapes with the golden section.
