The Message of Curve Art

As a product, my artwork stands for simplicity and beauty. Black ink curves on white sheets of paper. In the process, I am exploring the relationship between curvature and space, the coming into being of form, asymmetry as emotive force, the dissolve of boundaries, complexity and minimalism, and the co-evolution of creator and created.


These pieces are communicating universal truths: Movement heals. Beauty is simple. Form and informer are inextricable. I have documented their messages, as well as my creative process, on my web page www.curvelanguage.com


The Act of Creation

Through this work I bring myself back to what is simple, to the quiet curvatures of space and time that give rise to the complexity of all forms: trees, hearts, music, light, growing, loving, playing, seeing. I come into rhythm with the simplicity of these forms.


I often refer to this place of simplicity as the Source. Through my work I am brought back to the Source. The simplicity of the Source is not emptiness rather a place of infinite potential and creativity. Simple infinite creativity.


When I am at my Source, I experience great ease and sureness. I am reminded that the Source holds the potential for all answers; the originator of all forms, whether thought-forms or material-forms. When at my Source, I am reminded of my potential to create beauty from simple movements, to heal divisions of matter and space through the development of form, and to come into myself through my own movements and forms.


Influence and Inspiration

My art is highly influenced by science: complexity and emergent properties, non-linear mathematics, developmental biology, Gaia theory and self-organisation, quantum and relativity theory, inclusionality and transfigural mathematics.


I am inspired by the work of Brian Goodwin, biologist and professor of Holistic Science at Schumacher College. In collaboration with Brian, a series of my Curve Art images appear in his book Nature’s Due: Healing Our Fragmented Culture.


I receive great inspiration from Lere Shakunle, mathematician and writer, who has developed a fluid mathematics (Transfigural Mathematics) in which numbers flow into one another, explaining how all forms fold and flow into all other forms. Lere is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Transfigural Mathematics in which he has published a series of poems and images of Curve Art.


Not the least, Alan Rayner, who received me and first opened my senses to what is out there - the avenues and spaces for which to grow and share my thoughts and to bring forth with others, our inclusional world. For his inspiration and guidance in Inclusional wisdom and Art-Science communion, I thank him, dearly.
