" Fascination focused on an all embracing notion of nature remains the motivation behind my artistic activities. This fascination is nourished by that revealed from observations and investigations into the ways of nature, a process which more often than not will include a mathematical analysis of patterns, structures, and functions, found all around. Simultaneously love has developed a voice, expressed when successful as "poetry of space" within the marriage of spirit and matter. Over the years any distinction between these developments has become more and more blurred. I have come to consider mathematics not only as a language to describe the weave of life, but also as the thread of its fabric. "
