The work
The work is an exploration of arithmetical sequences and geometry as a means of distributing motifs, shapes, colours. Golden Section proportions and angles, prime numbers, Fibonacci numbers and eccentric constructions are used. Subjective choices are made as to which variety or conjunction of constructive ideas, and which colours, are used to parallel the initial visual perception. One idea can produce a series of work. Interrelations within the work and to the whole aimed at achieving a calm balanced unity. So each work has a visual message only. It aims to be a visual version of “truth”; an attempt to make no false move – so colour, tone value, shape all belong together. This can be seen in the visual work of untutored young children.

Some themes
Apple tree branches in mist developed into “Y” shapes which I used in various formats of prime numbers which engendered ideas of ”Birds Turning”,”River Weed” etc. Stone blocks along unfinished bypass became rhombi
delineated by internal lines; these were superimposed variously to give new forms, see e.g. “Tetrad”. From rhombi I reverted to the vertical and horizontal of the blocks; These became Fibonacci units placed variously together to make ‘”India” and other works. Then I developed 18 ways of overlapping just two smaller Fibonacci units;..e.g. “Screw”
