Exercising the right brain this lovely morning! Mixed media on canvas! 4 ft X 4ft xo
In recent designs I explored the influence of mathematics on design, and the fascination that mathematicians, as well as designers, have to keep searching for the ultimate symmetry found in everyday objects and in nature, in order to create new universal aesthetics. People may argue over the definition of great design, yet we are continually intrigued by the factors that make certain aesthetics universally appreciated. Reading literature on the golden ratio and the Egyptian mysteries, I have come to realize that by applying mathematical formulas to fashion, art and design it creates a new way to incorporate science into visual arts. I was most influenced by geometric patterns, prints, and laser cutting to create precision patterns that establish scientific properties in my latest designs. Below is an example of that. Hope you enjoy and thanks for taking a peek!
I just got back from Coachella week 1 and 2 in the desert …. I need sleep. Here are a couple shots I took from the 3 day music and art festival.
The Lumineers. Wesley inspiring the crowd.
Allen Stone. This man is brilliant.
It all starts to blur together.
lost in light.
dancing in the dusk.
Descendents. Mosh Pit.
The main inspiration behind most, if not all good designs is the Golden ratio, or divine proportion. Its applications are limitless. It’s used in math, nature, art, and architecture. It’s alway been an inspiration behind my designs and art pieces.
The idea behind the golden ratio is if you divide a line into two parts so that: the longer part is divided by the smaller part, this is also equal to, the whole length divided by the longer part. Give it try it’s fun!
True Statement.
I just got back from attending MAGIC, Platform, Pool, and Project trade shows in Las Vegas!! I’m flooded with inspiration and excitement by all the talented people I met, and amazing designs I saw along the way! The show displays fashion’s most comprehensive collection of women’s, men’s, juniors and children’s accessories and footwear. More than 2,000 emerging to established labels across every price point, category, and trends are featured over this 3 day period at both the Hilton and Mandalay Bay convention centers. Here’s’ a lil peek into the emerging style of the season!
