distemper,oil on wood
64 x 104 inches
collection: Cincinnati Art Museum
This painting is composed of panels joined to a wood grid on the back.
The ratio of the height to the length is like a proportion known as the
divine proportion. In fact, the panels beginning with the smallest are
all squares and representative of a sequence of gnomic growth called the
Fibonnaci Numbers. This growth sequence is found in Nature in the nautilus
shell, pine cones,sunflowers,spiral galaxies etc. Below is a diagram of
the sequence.
