Inspiration for 'DNA'. The inspiration for this work stemmed from longstanding debates among the two conflicting camps; evolution vs intelligent design. By challenging the concept or role of the Creator, is it possible to reconcile fundamental differences between these two parties? Can we have a 'Designer' that allows it's creation to become a designer? Design of 'DNA'. In this artwork, the Creator/Designer is located at the centre and is represented, geometrically, as a circle. It can be seen to be spawning 3 segments, each inheriting and exhibiting attributes of their creator. Elsewhere, other segments are entwining and recombining into unique new forms, reminiscent of single strands of DNA. A vast array of new forms can be easily created using a very limited range of segments, similar to the vast array of lifeforms that can be produced based on the 4 DNA bases (A T G C). Their positions and size are random and arbitrary (free will), but their construction follows a strict but very simple building 'rule'. Although the forms that can be produced are virtually infinite, they always retain the essence of their original circular form. Thus, their creation is guided by the invisible hand of their creator and are always created in it's image. Making of 'DNA'. Copper tubes have been cut into a limited range of segments/arcs. Each edge has been carefully melted with an oxy-propane flame prior to mounting onto a flat copper sheet. The entire copper artwork has been patinated with a blue and dark bronze acid patina and sealed with a clear lacquer.

As a boy I used to love spending hours drawing complex geometrical patterns with compasses; then colouring them in with pencils to make wonderfully complex, psychedelic pictures. I did not know it at the time, but I was using basic rules of sacred geometry to create mandala-type pictures. Years later, after completing my MSc, I spent 20 odd years in construction and architecture. I am fortunate to now work full-time as an artist. I work with both acrylic paints and metals to produce a range of paintings, metal wall sculpture, and custom copper interior design features. A feature of all of my metal artwork is that they are finished with hand-applied authentic & traditional acid patina finishes. Each and every patina has a distinctive character and personality. It is these subtle differences that ensure each piece is truly unique. Every patina finish is as individual as a person’s fingerprint. Everything is designed, handmade and finished by me. All my artwork is strongly guided by mathematical and geometrical proportions, especially those relating to circles (Plato’s ‘Perfect Form’) and the Fibonacci number series (AKA the Divine Proportion, the Golden Ratio, and the Sacred Cut). The broad underlying philosophy behind my art is exploring the apparent geometrical and harmonic relationships that appear to occur at all scales in the universe; from the quantum world to the cosmic scale, and probably into higher dimensions. All of creation appears to be determined and guided by the invisible pulse (Shiva’s drum). Plato succinctly surmised this concept, “God ever geometrises”.
