I have been looking recently at the patterns of chaos and order evident in natural forms throughout nature. This interest developed as I find it fascinating that such patterns occur both at the smallest and vastest of scales, down to our own molecular make-up, up to the broadest systems of time and space.
Seemingly sporadic, yet intrinsically these patterns contain a uniformity of balance and symmetry. Not only is this physical combination aesthetically exciting but I find it fascinating that the same pattern can be perceived in the metaphysical; in the behavioral systems of nature, from cognitive thought patterns through to the way cities develop and communities form, to the destruction and renewal inherent in all of life and nature.
Perhaps one of the most intriguing physical examples of this is mineral structures, not only do they embody the physical attributes of chaos and order, also I find the way they capture and deflect light captivating. The way they absorb and deflect light could be seen in a similar way to cognitive processes; in absorbing some and putting less consequential information to the side, there are parallels to how we receive others. Previously I have used the redirection of natural light in my practice as a means of opening up the context of a space.
Because of this I plan to experiment with different structures and materials to create a crossover which is representative of the symbiotic nature of the patterns which I have observed, in a way that denotes scientific exploration, using visual notes as reference points to the phenomenon of timeless and spatially unbound synergy.
