My interest in geometrical structure, periodic space division and polyhedra has continued to be an integral part of my ongoing digital work. I have always maintained that the graphical and mathematical territory that M.C. Escher first explored and charted in the twentieth century will remain a well-spring of significant inquiry now and well into the future. |
I created Void Matrix Lattice for the April 1983 issue of Movement to illustrate an article on Carl Pribram's holographic brain theory entitled "The Real New Wave." |
For me, Void Matrix Lattice was a break-through piece. This piece combines intermittent clusters of isotropic vector matrices, or octet-truss subdivisions of inclusive tetrahedral perspectival enclosure, while also referencing Escher's perspectival pun in Relativity, as well as the back of a young boy on a chair in reference to Dali's Suntable. | Approximately Noon Onward (oil on canvas, 1982-83) |
Around 1983 I came upon a book edited by Ken Wilber called The Holographic Paradigm and other Paradoxes: Exploring the Leading Edge of Science, which dealt with the same subject matter as the Pribram article. |
This book, like the Tao of Physics 5 years earlier, impacted my thinking and graphic work. It includes an amazing short paper by William A. Tiller that puts forth a generalized description of the structure of space as being embedded in the spirit---an idea that I interpret as omni-cymatic embodiment, i.e. void-matrix nodal density in holonomic four-dimensional refraction. | Napoleonic Seal (oil on canvas, 1979) |
Slated Breakfast-Visceral Analytic (oil on canvas, 1981) | Tiller goes on to say that this space is a six-dimensional Euclidean space articulated as a close-packed hexagonal lattice with active nodal points. Other than the Euclidean part, this sounds a lot like a description of an aspect of Fuller's isotropic vector matrix. |
