These two triptychs continue my explorations with the shapes created using a childhood toy, Super Spirograph. A toy/tool that fascinates me as much for its mathematical aspect as its ornamental effect. In each of these pieces a single figure that is a composite of multiple Spirograph drawings is repeated across the surface creating both the pattern of circular objects and the nuanced background. The decorative circular form can be considered as a molecule, a bubble or a symbol of energy. The background is more ambiguous yet in “Breathe II” the network of varying intensities of blue shapes is suggestive of light reflecting off the surface of disturbed water. For the organization of the circular figures, I chose the mathematical configuration, the Fibonacci sequence, which is often found in the natural world: an example being the pattern of seeds on a sunflower. I chose this pattern as it is dynamic and organic. Through colour, and size of the repeated motif, my intention was to create a sense of movement drawing in towards the centre in “Breathe I”, and an expansion radiating outwards beyond the edges in “Breathe II”.
