When you pick art for your space, what does your art mean? Why do you pick it? What does it mean to you and to the space? Is it just about the colors, shapes and patterns or does it have special meaning to you such as the remembrance of a feeling, an adventure, a loved one or an event?
As an artist who creates the art for your space, the meaning behind what I create is important to me. I usually create abstract art that is not about a specific person, place or event but is more about the colors, shapes and feeling that it evokes. Some shapes are more meaningful than others and tend to draw you into creating more and more with the same shape. I find that much of my work revolves around spirals.
Spirals are prevalent in nature, in a beautiful sea shell, the unfolding of a new fern, the shape of a pine cones or the petals of a flower.
Wow! Spirals are powerful stuff. Love a nautilus and the internal understanding of geometry and math that we all hold innately.
They really are such a beautiful and powerful shape. Thanks for reading!
What a great visual, I won’t ever look at spirals again without thinking of you! Thanks for sharing for inspiration!
Thanks Amy!
Loving the spiral staircase photographs!!
Thank you Christie!
I love this post, Mary Ann! The prevalence of spirals in nature is so interesting – the whole mathematical sequence and order of it is fun to learn about and apply. It explains so well the intersection of science and art and the innate order of the world and why we find Fibonacci proportions and patterns so inherently pleasing.
Thanks Janet! It is really interesting to see that there is an aspect of science underlying the things we find “beautiful”. Same thing happens with color. The marriage of the art and science makes the magic happen!
I have always been a sucker for a spiral staircase. Thank you for sharing your take on spirals and of course, for sharing your art!
Thanks so much Sheri. Yes, I am a sucker for a beautiful spiral staircase too!!
