![]() ![]() They are freeing themselves of each other, while still tied together. The outside, for so long, has defined what can be expressed by the internal. It is almost too much for the heart to keep up with. The reds and yellows radiate pain, through the back, the breasts, the hands. The crochet stitches build upon each other radially, a repetitive meditative act focusing on the body it is forming. It is warm and comforting, but also dense and heavy. He himself was saying that: 'it is the richest source of inspiration that I have ever tapped, and. No other theme has been as popular in Escher's work as the periodic drawing division, which is related to the mathematical concept of tesselation of the plane. The epidermic block is draped in a second skin, a crocheted blanket reflective of natural forms taken from the body. Escher's Tessellations of the plane, Section 8. The self- imposed limitations and boundaries have been released to show the heart, the internal, in a much clearer light. By separating them, releasing the internal from its suffocating form, both sides are allowed to relax and expand. The two cubes fit, one inside the other like nesting matryoshka. On the right, the plastic is stretched to the cube frame, pulled thin like a skin. On the left, the cube swirls with internal energy, powering the beating heart. The process of carving these block prints was extremely cathartic because the satisfaction of violently slicing the block felt like it healed my own wounds as a result, like an inversion of the suffering cast on me. I wish to use these prints like a vessel or icon to contain those parts of me that are actively trying to subvert my mind and torture me. I have abstracted these anxious and toxic thoughts into compositions using sharp spindly house centipede legs and bodies because after living in a basement apartment during covid I became very familiar with those creatures and although I am terrified of house centipedes I also feel a strange kinship with them. The overall theme of these prints is my experience with developing anxiety and depression during the covid era and the continuous feeling of declining mental health now despite the fact I've been able to see all my friends and family much more often, which I foolishly thought would make my internal problems vanish, or at least subside a bit. As a cooperative people, this process of extrospection is how we ultimately begin to cooperate, heal, and grow through times of turmoil and uncertainty.” Regarding the conflict and chaos in Ukraine and the world right now, we hope that Translation-Tessellation also serves as inspiration for you to reflect on the lived experiences of those around you. This allows those close to them to enter an empathetic state that attempts to understand a life that they cannot and will not ever know. One of the most pertinent perspectives a creative has to offer is their own, baring themselves in the ways they alone know best. Entitled Translation-Tessellation, this show aims not only to present works born of each VA’s completely unique experiences, but also to both highlight the oft-repeated processes so prevalent in the development of a personal practice and offer style comparisons resultant of personal affinities and life paths. Presented in full focus in our second exhibition is the contribution of one’s ever-changing environment and continued personal discovery to their subsequent ‘voice’, both artistically and otherwise. “ Life imitates art imitates life imitates art imitates. Tessellation- repetitions and the equations that add up to form our lives. He even tried to make " square limit" patterns.Translation - the process of turning parts of yourself into the physical realm through art. Escher did many spiral and circle-limit patterns. As Spock of the original Star Trek TV series said, "A difference that makes no difference is no difference." Such a pattern can so nearly fill the center as barely matters, in the way that a single atom is so small that it barely matters. However, the spirals and circles virtually finish the centerpoint. It's true, these types of patterns might have trouble filling in the centermost point. They say that the tiles must all be the same size, and the tessellations must entirely fill a plane. Many math experts say these are not tessellations. These are called "isometric", which is a fancy way of saying that the tiles don't change size.īut, what about patterns like "circle limits" that use gradually smaller and smaller tiles as they expand outward, and their opposites, the spirals and concentric circles that use larger and larger tiles as the patterns expand outward? We've already covered the types of symmetry that all tessellation experts agree upon: Translation, Reflection, Glide-Reflection, and Rotation.
