New work!

I haven’t had much chance to write recently because I’ve been trying to finish up some work for a show I have coming up in September at Cain Schulte Gallery in San Francisco.  The opening is on Friday the 11th 6-8 pm, so if you’re in the city stop by!  Here’s just a little bit of what I’ve been working on:

As a final thought I’d just like to offer a quote from Peter Stevens’ classic work Patterns in Nature, which was in no small part the inspiration for my previous entry on nature.

“The plant is not in love with the Fibonacci series; it does not seek beauty thought the use of the golden section; it does not even count its stalks; it just put out stalks where they will have the most room.  All the beauty and all the mathematics are the natural by-products of a simple system of growth interacting with its special environment.” – Peter S. Stevens.  Patterns in Nature. 1979. Little Brown & Co. P.187
