“Flow 1”

"Flow 1" is created by intersecting two Golden Triangles (base angles of 72° and vertex angle 36°). The plane of each triangle is partially bisected and then curved to create an aesthetically pleasing form. One triangle is smooth; the other has a textured surface. The sculpture changes our perception of a static and planar geometric shape and makes for a dynamic visual experience. The curves move the eye around the form and suggest multiple points of view.

“Flow 4”

Museum board and acrylic paint, 7.5"H x 13.5" W x 10.5"D, 2008.





"Flow 4" is created by the close proximity of two Golden Triangles (base angles of 72° and vertex angle 36°). The plane of each triangle is curved in opposing directions to create an aesthetically pleasing form. The sculpture changes our perception of a static and planar geometric shape and makes for a dynamic visual experience. The curves move the eye around the form and suggest multiple points of view.


Elizabeth Whiteley, Studio Artist, Washington, DC

"My hope is that my artworks will awaken, in the viewer, the same sense of life's joys and possibilities which I feel as I create in my studio. I paint and make sculpture to express my delight in seeking visual relationships and finding new connections within simple geometric shapes. The discovery of harmony and symmetry leads to peace of mind. When I complete an artwork, I have a sense that there is, indeed, order and beauty in this seemingly chaotic world."
