About Radial

Radial / TWO was my second study to be based around the idea of cutting away the central core of the image, to reveal a more sculptural way of working with the drawings.

The study uses a rotational symmetry aligned with a single repeat across the centre line, to make a kind of Flow like geometry for the toroid form.

The movement comes out of the maths that define it, and so the similarity to an ammonite form, or a bisected shell interior, is both accidental and inevitable, as the mathematical patterns that underly the form are the same as those found throughout the natural world.

Making the study it became ever more apparent that you can use a computer to overlay complex number patterns in such a way that the geometries they create can be more intriguing, and more intricate, than would be possible with more traditional media.

I think this study, in particular, begins to presage the reality that new systems based drawings can interweave and overlay number systems to generate new forms that perhaps haven’t ever been seen before. It’s an exciting prospect, and a rich seam to work…
