"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" 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."
