Pentagons #2"Islamic Fractals #10" was one of my first attempts at building a large multi-layered pattern with unforseen negative shapes appearing only at a very advanced stage of repetition. In #11 I not only changed the colours but added an additional layer of white with details of immense pentagons. The total composition is "interrupted" by vertical spaces or "columns". The relation between the visible and the "covered" areas was determined by the Golden Proportion. I have allowed myself to use the term "fractals" because I have used the same manner of reiteration but instead of the usual triangles I have used the pentagon. In the "Golden Arch Window" quintych details of the center window are enlarged. In later works I discovered that at a level of extensive reiteration the pentagons arrange themselves in circles. All the works here were created on the computer and then printed in predetermined sizes. |
