- Additional Information
The artist has been working with the new concepts of chaos theory and fractal geometry as a conceptual transformation—a new way to view nature, space and form—and as a liberation from the confines of Euclidean geometries in art. The artist compares the potential artistic importance of chaos theory and fractal geometry with important events in Western art history—the Renaissance and the birth of Modern Art—can be directly linked with the concurrent appearance of new geometries. The artist proposes that new geometric views in the world my be a key catalyst for artistic developments. Within this context, the new geometric vision of chaos theory and fractal geometry may give rise to another major innovation in art.
