Showerhead Happiness 1
"As I step back and look at the evolution of my art, an interesting thing happened along the way. Circles begin to appear. Sometimes they were reinterpretations of Mandala’s, sometimes circles with spinning motion representing Sufi whirling dervishes. This interest in eastern cultures began during my Architectural studies at Pratt Institute. The circle is also universally understood by children, such as the spinning tops that they have been playing with for ages all over the world. Throughout history, other circular forms such as spirals can be found in the art and iconography from such disparate locals and cultures as the Australian Aboriginals to the Celtic pagans of Northern Europe. These forms seem to be in our DNA. Showerhead Happiness is an exploration in my own digital way of the spiral and spinning. I divided the circumference of a circle into 40 equal segments and at the outer edge is a ring of these 40 segments in a palette of 28 colors. The segments are divided by alternating black and white bars. This first outer ring of segments is rotated clockwise 9 degrees (360 degrees ÷ 40 segments = 9) and scaled down by a factor of 94%. This is repeated 55 times with each successive ring of colored segments shifting clockwise and towards the center. The result is 40 individual stepped spirals. Optically, the effect is kinetic and hypnotic."
