Bridges/Networks is a series of mixed media diptychs on altered digital prints of flame fractal patterns that have been reinforced and revised with gestures inspired by natural movements such as wave forms, oscillations, and feedback loops. The form of the diptych develops a series of subtly changing thoughts as one views each side of the artwork as a distinct grouping paired against the other side, although both sides together also act as a whole image. As we view each side in contrast to our ideas of the whole artwork, our conceptual activity of changing our minds bridges many patterns from math and nature through vivid layering, juxtaposition and the viewer’s interactions, as if to suggest that a diversity of differences can coexist. The artworks are 8″x10″, in inkjet pigments, carbon ink, acrylics, reflective pigments, and graphite on paper.
