Snelsonian Motion

 

The underlying structures of the Snelsonian Motion series are based on quasi-symmetrical tessellations—(shadows from 6 and 10-dimensional space), comparing to one of the “String Theories”, which describes our reality as 10-dimensional.

The paintings utilize a "crystalline model for the atom" developed by sculptor Kenneth Snelson, and superimpose onto it curvilinear paths of sub-atomic motion resembling “Brownian Motion” in their unpredictability, as they trace a particle’s random meanderings through the structure.
