Antioch Graces - Sculpture and Drawing

"Emergent Universe" is the core of the eccentric progressions. It was made by mirror matching repeated pairs of annuli differing from side to side only in that the radius of one was slightly smaller than the other. When completed I saw that it was possible to set up a sequence via which a shape, once realized, could dissipate either to re-occur later in a diminished form or could segue into a relatively formless surface. To demonstrate this "Universe IV" was made.
 
To answer some of the questions that arose paired strings of annuli, each different as to width and diameter, were joined, as in experiments such as "Antioch Graces" and the "Asymmetric Graces" . Accompanied by two kinds of drawing - one analytical one predictive, most of this work was exhibited in the gallery at Antioch College and at the Upper Arlington Municipal Center. Each had unusually high ceilings and accomodating curatorial and support staff. The point of these pieces was to devise a method whereby I could predict at just what point the initial helix would expand into a rippled disc. (z/o.)
