Artist Statement (Prototype)

The basis of my concentration is derived from an observation of architecture, man made structure, and a biological study of botanical drawings. I am exploring structure and flow in a concentration of botanical-like drawings of various plants. Amongst the plants are ordered, with a slightly chaotic feel, geometric shapes with the purpose of guiding the eye through the drawing with an aesthetics feel and evoke a contrast between the sharp edges of made by man and the elegant flow of nature. Throughout the concentration nature and man are constantly present with varying degrees of one dominating the other. Through size, amount, and occasional color. I want to show the struggle between development and the Cultural Mandate. I'm searching for an equilibrium and Shalom with nature and man.
