Statement
The Sciences and its’ many branches compose a unique form of language. A rich, detailed web of common knowledge that may be our most refined form of communication to date. As we use this language to develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and our environment we reveal complex layers of information, seamlessly interconnected systems and repeating patterns that echo throughout. In my current body of work I reflect these new discoveries by creating my own forms and unique systems by hand. Through the use of balance, proportion, symmetry and scale I attempt to better understand the connections between space and form.
Artworks
This sculpture is part of an ongoing series exploring the nesting properties of Platonic solids.
Through the use of interlaced hexagons, octagons and dodecagons, this piece represents my attempt to illustrate the relationship between the tetrahedron, cube and octahedron.
