Wire mesh
represents one of the purest manifestations of fractals – that geometric
repetition of self-similarity.
It is
this cold repetition of a two dimensional industrial material, when distorted
into complex curves of space that creates, with no change of the actual surface
area of the material, the subtle expression of the human body through a
physical manipulation and caress of cold steel with only the hands. Mesh

From a single
square, progressing to grid of four, then 16, and eventually upward to as many
as a quarter of a million individual squares in the largest of sculptures
-
each square a
replication of the next larger in a geometric progression.
