During the past drawings i discovered the cut out shape in the hedron shapes that were integrated in the drawing.
similar to a lack of order but not chaos. the negative element opened a link in my though to helix imagery in science.
I began to build some elements for a few new landscapes and thought to create this helix hedron shape in a dimensional form with my polyhedrons.
I chose the subject matter of the trout details that are photographed wile hiking the rivers, and on the opposite side of the prints are the images of the topographic maps defining where i was with the trout.
Then i transfer the template for the pattern and then cut out the hedron and glue it together.
Ive been super busy since the new year in the studio. New sculptures that seemed to be languishing along on work tables suddenly became clear in how they were to procede. Newly finished is a sculpture Endo-Biotic Symbiosis. the outer sides are styrene forms taken off of tree bark that are monted and hinged to panels. Open sculpture is a narative about the inner dependency that flora and fuana has in the wilderness. The sculptures slip cover is quarter sawn sycamore with a deciduous tree image cut out relating to the trees in the sculpture.
