"Rainbows"

Artist Statement:
"The rainbows designs are comprised of thirteen fractal patterns printed in red, yellow, and blue (magenta, yellow, and blue.) Various three color patterns can be combined to create 40,320 unique eight color arrays. Iterations of these patterns have been fabricated in a variety of media and scales including drawing, digital, floor tile, Lego block, and Post-it Note. The patterns evoke notions of harmony, diversity, equality, variety, compatibility, orientation, probability, pattern, and play. Much of the design is dictated by rules and properties beyond my intention and allow for intricate and inter-related properties to emerge. I superimpose certain meanings on them but encourage others to apply their own meaning to these shapes in an open forum of experimentation, discovery, and meditation."
