/philosophy
Leaving lines is a visual construct illustrating the role of correlated structures in matter, heat and momentum, demonstrating the co-existence of structure and randomness.
It is an exhibition of the products of linear and non-linear behaviour created through human geometric instigation, reinforcement and selection.
The process is driven by a fascination in the landscape of systemic interactions over scale.
The artist takes a composite perception of dynamic systems and an awareness of the human’s intrinsic systemic nature and combines them by means of an approach fluctuating between conscious and sub-conscious behaviour.
/process
Techniques include painting, drawing and digital transitions
The process is analogous with turbulence:
- Irregular over time and space
- Unique in detail
- Dissipating without the addition of force
- Possessing multiple interacting degrees of freedom
- Existing far from equilibrium
- Each series of actions entirely dependent on initial conditions
- Incompressible, homogeneous, chaotic
- Subject to dramatic property changes
- With unsteady vortices appearing and interacting on all scales
- Energy cascading from large scale structure to small scale structure
- Almost inviscid with inertia
- Self similar structures result
- Eventually small molecular diffusion makes it’s impact
- Finally, viscosity dissipates all remaining energy
