Gallery:  Patterns and Patterning
 
Favorite images and photos from my far flung travels are collected in this gallery.  The show revolves and recycles as whim dictates. 
 
The focus is on self-organizing patterns and fractals in nature -- including human nature!  Surprisingly, a very clear aesthetic has emerged from our work with Liberating Structures.  Elements of the aesthetic include:
 
  • Insight comes from inconspicuous often overlooked details
  • Beauty can be coaxed out of messiness
  • Focus on the intrinsic qualities
  • Ignore material or technological hierarchy
  • Look for what is irregular, intimate, unpretentious
  • Look for comfort with ambiguity
  • Don’t ignore what is imperfect, crude or impermanent
