My inspirations: The mysterious, the intrinsic, natural symmetry, proportion, beauty. My most recent series: astonishingly accurate, simple, elegant solar system models.
Current fine art project: a new series based on 3-dimensional unfoldments of 2-dimensional crop circle imagery, hinting at their deeper connection and significance to our direct experience of beauty, intelligent design and interconnectedness.
My inspirations: The mysterious, the intrinsic, natural symmetry, proportion, beauty. I have been creating digital art and animations with POV-Ray since 1997; I am the author of Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook and www.GeometryCode.com. My recent series of giclées, inspired by the precise solar system discoveries of John Martineau, have been shown recently in California at 20th Street Art Gallery in Sacramento, among other venues (with larger prints) and most recently in Oregon at the Nuwandart Gallery, Ashland (February 2005) in conjunction with a presentation there for the Rogue Valley Metaphysical Library and the Eagle Point Library (June-August 2005) as well at Erich vonDäniken’s Mystery Park (in Interlaken, Switzerland) as part of Goldner’s 1000 square meter exhibition about Crop Circles from May through October 2005. Other recent exhibits and events are listed here.
I have a lot of fun exploring how the principle of interconnectedness can be conveyed by imagery that stretches one out of the familiar using cosmic metaphors and principles, yet grounded in the eternal tradition of inner beauty reflected in extrinsic forms, colors and relationships.
