| RANDOM GROWTH SERIES - In this series, as in nature and the formation of stalactites or ant hills, these forms have an underling coded structure and logic, but there is also an inbuilt variation or random function and a different form is created each time the code is run. I am selective as to which of these computer generated forms I select but my interests are in how us humans have an inbuilt desire to make sense of the world around us even from the most random forms. I want the viewer to bring their own subjective interpretation to the forms. In trying to make sense of the shapes the viewer brings their own personal and imaginative reading of the object. I guess this way of working continues the long tradition in pottery where the ego of the artist is held back allowing the form, natural processes and materials to speak through. |
