Invisible Architecture
Well, I think I've set the stage enough that I can now wander up and down the corridors of my library of images and not have to be even remotely chronological. If you've read along, and I'm guessing you haven't, you know my obsession with images. If I had saved everything of that sort that I had ever owned, we could have quite a show here. But time and tide disperse of all things, yet I did manage to keep my sanity and keep a few. And this stuff does help keep my sanity in a world where we all have to die. This stuff has helped me live. The love of imagery has been the invisible architecture of the structure of my life.
"Artist-illustrator Frank Carson, who produced over 3000 constructions in a four year period, proposed that we reinvestigate the whole concept of intuitive, non-linear thinking, what he called, 'nature's own path, the path of least resistance'. Carson opened a window into a math of circles and curves, fundamentally different from traditional mathematics. He developed a new geometry which he declared is a 'new mandala or great key to awakening of these unconscious powers of the psyche.' "—Architecture / May 1990
Whatever a person's understanding of these concepts, clearly art and science can come together beautifully.
