ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The Naturally Occurring Facial Dimensions are highlighted to emphasize the background vs. foreground of these origami sculpture illusion drawings. These parts actually exist on the distant planes of the geometric design which are exposed through negative spaces within the front of the structures. You are left with the organically occurring negative spaces that create the dimensions and spaces of abstract eyes, noses, mouths, and often 3rd Eyes. This process is directly connected to my origami foundation and fundamentals in which the end result is not visually known but rather a surprise through the formulaic approach of built and engineered geometric forms. I start with the sculptures of Related Origami Fractal Cubic Grid Design Variations that have been built with the same “formulaic process”. In theory these 3 dimensional versions are all similarly connected and typically contain the same number of sheets and exist within the same space. The different 3-dimensional structures are drawn from all 8 corners without depth perception. When inverted they share communal edges and shapes from the original built cubic grid design and can be arranged in a manner that always converts back to any starting point/origin when you follow the same fractal pattern as the origin cube. This is where the technical engineering aspect and mathematical formulas require a type of understanding and knowledge that I have directly learned through my Origami background. Typical for my style these are completely original, handmade, and hand drawn. All the shapes are not perfect and there are slight variations in the sizes and alignments which is something that would not be present in computer generated art. In my opinion this results in and creates an “alive” effect in the design that expresses and represents the ideas and themes of movement through fluidly and fluctuation; an illusion of movement within the organic form.

More than 140,000 individual folds in a single sculpture. “Origami and its mathematical principles are undoubtedly the most universally consistent art form in all the cosmos" - Self taught base folds and original design sculptures and paintings. Thousands of sheets of paper without any adhesives and application of mathematical engineering process into 2-Dimensional Paintings and Drawings. I showcase and express a universal language of physical creation based upon evolving shapes and engineering geometry through a formulaic approach. It is an educational and cerebral art form centered around complex mathematical puzzles in both 2 and 3 Dimensions. As a self taught artist I have a true affinity for the technical process and challenging aspects of physically creating and realizing designs with my own hands and brain. Everything I create is original to me. This means that I have never seen the works elsewhere. I almost never create the same design twice due to the infinitesimal amount of possible variations within these geometric structures. Pushing the limits and boundaries of Origami and mental dexterity I only challenge myself; however I may be a leader in this timeless artform. Not just in this era but through time. Through hands-on mathematics I create concrete engineered geometric forms that represent the principles of infinity. Nearly every design I create theoretically expands infinitely in all directions and each specific sculpture is a representation of a physical geometric space that exists within these infinite patterns. The finished products often result in naturally occurring relatable symbols such as 3rd Eyes, Star of David, Swastika, Keyholes, Abstract Humanoid Faces, Forms, and more. Diverse viewing angles and negative spaces organically create these forms within the paintings and as you move about the sculptures allowing the geometry to line up (I call these money shots or money angles). A Synonymous relationship between chaos and order. Creating these sculptures begins with a consistent mathematical formula on how to evolve and advance the forms and designs of three-dimensional sculptural origami paper puzzles. In a sense I know how I am going to build a specific design based not upon what I want or think the sculpture should look like but rather by using mathematical principles related to how the geometry varies.
