Forged from the sloping angles of a rhombohedron, titanium members weave together to form hash signs on its four sides and on top as social media weaves into the fabric of our technological times.  This symbol turns the data of billions of souls vying to be seen and heard into meta-data, categorizes it and makes it searchable;  to share joys, beauty, injustices, grief…. and so much more, elevating our humanity.  Yet, represented by the perfection of its titanium surface scarred by scratches, these forces of light are tempered by the forces of darkness by its use to tear down our humanity.  One can sit on its timber benches and reflect on this symbols’ meaning to them in their personal lives as the reflecting pools reflect its aqua color onto its surface.

CURVARUM I

My work evolves over time with a constant drive of its connection to architecture. The challenge is to merge mathematical aspects of tectonic systems into the constructed form and space hovering between arts and architecture, envisioning and making geometric structures and tectonic systems that blur their boundaries. Geometric structures, different kinds of architectures emerge that uncovers, discovers unexpected three-dimensional patterns, forms, and dynamics Creating complex geometric constructs engage simultaneously analytical and synthetic operations.

With CURVARUM I, undulating massing of syncopated modulations are supported by a concrete ‘spine’ and concrete columns. The module is constructed from a grid of circles (see last image in this post). Using modules is a tectonic approach to form making.

The exhibition DIGITALISM not only showed my 2d cut out prints on acrylic derived from 3d models, but also included on a large screen TV, showed videos of animations of the 3d models the artworks were derived from. Also shown were animations of structures exploring tectonics that lie somewhere between sculpture and architecture, blurring their boundaries.

These are the eight videos. For the best view experience, click ‘Watch on YouTube’ and click on settings (gear icon) and set Quality to 1080p HD.
