Snelsonian Motion
The underlying structures of the Snelsonian Motion series are based on quasi-symmetrical tessellations—(shadows from 6 and 10-dimensional space), comparing to one of the string theories, which describes our reality as 10-dimensional. These paintings postulated electron paths based on artist Keneth Snelson’s Model of the Atom.
The paintings utilize a crystalline model for the atom developed by sculptor Kenneth Snelson, and superimpose onto it curvilinear paths of sub-atomic motion resembling Brownian motion in their unpredictability, as they trace a particle’s random meanderings through the structure.
