some notes on the work

EFFULGENT GEOMETRIES are primarily interested in structures, patterns and metaphors expressed from the interactions of geometry & light.

Deep Symmetry. Reflections of the Infinite. Pattern & Cadence.

My work is created by the interaction of geometric forms and light. The resultant structures I refer to as Effulgent Geometries. The rich detail of the images is a result of the computer simulation of the physical characteristics of the objects used such as (glass, metal, liquid, etc.). By pattern, cadence and symmetry, a certain resonance or frequency emerges, the intention of which is to express an ideal of harmony and wholeness.
