| Title | Rose Matrix X |
| Artwork Description | A pink rose contained in a black box hovers over a collection of geomertric, patterned shapes. |
| Artist Statement | Nature's instrinsic design is the theme and basis for much of my work. In the latest paintings and prints, life-like roses, butterflies, and orchids share equal space and attention with less familiar schematic images. Geometric configurations and computer imagery, which function as symbols of implied logic, order, structure and design, are in contrast with the simplicity and concreteness of natural forms. In creating these graphic schemas, I start with a grid or matrix as the basis from which all the geometric and computer imagery take shape. Thus the titles, "Rose Matrix" etc., allude to the function of the matrix as the unseen ordering force or guiding principle underlying the drawings. In the creative process, the matrix imposes limitations but also provides an ordering framework. A natural form, like a rose, in a similar way as the man-made function of the matrix, also reflects the existence of laws governing its form which are discernable but not visible. Science and technology have expanded our vision and thus our awareness far beyond common visible appearances. I am awed at the things revealed through science and technology concerning the unseen realm of nature. And yet, in scientific terms, this realm remains indirect, diagrammatic, and incomplete. A rose remains a complete entity to behold, appreciate and accept as a reflection of God's glory and handiwork. (David F. Haidle, 1986) |
