My work explores and interprets fundamental patterns, geometry and
systems of order which occur naturally and unnaturally, on purpose and
by chance. Today nearly everything we experience is digitized. But
every seemingly simple convergence of shapes echoes back thousands of
years through hundreds of iterations, and has been brought into being
sometimes by man, but more often by nature.
Although
influenced by Minimalism and Cubism, I also draw inspiration from
lesser known movements like Pattern and Decoration and Op Art. I
address visual phenomena such as the shifting perception of two and
three dimensions, illusionist (plastic) space versus real
dimensionality, and recognition of hand-crafted mark-making as distinct
from the perfection of machine or computer generated designs. (http://www.timothynolan.com)
