Implementation of Notions of Science in some of my Reliefs and Drawings

The author outlines three aspects of his work that, he feels, are a direct consequence of his visual experience of images produced by some of the instruments of science and of ideas stemming from scientific thinking. The first is concerned with 3-dimensional reliefs derived from 2-dimensional photomicrographs of metals and other materials. The second is concerned with reliefs that have modular characteristics. These have connections with the ordering found in some structures in nature revealed by science and a quality of ‘all-overness’, which is one of the more frequently recognized characteristics of such structures. This latter also underlies some of the author’s pen and ink drawings, even though they are essentially representational works of objects such as buildings and trees.
