This work was inspired by a books titled "Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps That Explain Everything About the World" (by Tim Marshall) and "Delirious New York" (by Rem Koolhaas). This work is meant to signify the human attempt to place order on nature through the establishment of "society". The color represent naturally occurring things (water, trees, mountains, etc.), while the lines and grids represent the human attempt at placing order upon nature (streets, borders, neighborhoods, states, etc.). At a deeper level, the checkered pattern may call to question the socioeconomic structure of a society (race, the haves/have-nots, etc.). The dots represent distribution of wealth (money, etc.). I chose this media and style to express a deep truth about the world in abstract form. I enjoyed the creation of this piece (and others in this sub-collection) because it allowed me to understand more about the world and myself while creating on a smaller, more intimate scale than many of my larger works.

Born in Detroit, MI (USA) in 1983, Rolin Pettway, Jr. is an artist, engineer, music producer, fashion designer, photographer, filmmaker, and entrepreneur. After studying mathematics at Bethune-Cookman College, he earned both Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University, and later a Master of Business Administration from Indiana University – Kelley School of Business. Since Rolin’s first time making his art publicly available as an engineering graduate student (via music and sound design), his media has expanded across both visual and auditory languages. Referencing the underlying relation of all things, Rolin’s work is an incorporation of color, numbers, sound, and symbolism through the lens of his unique awareness and life experiences. An underlying theme of his work is the use of subjective and objective contradiction to present abstract visual forms that exude a certain precise imperfection. Through his work, Rolin’s hope and intent is that the viewer will be inspired to understand more about academia, business, creativity and spirituality – but also themselves and humanity as a whole.
