Octagons – simple yet complex geometric shapes that for me spoke of order and complexity, and where overhelmingly ‘human,’ completely constructed and relating strongly to conceptual space.
And the number eight has a resonance in many fields. one example is the octet rule, which defines stable atoms as those being circled by 8 electrons. Numerous other examples of 8’s importance led me to really obsess over these geometric forms, and question their significance.
Here are a few examples of my octagon works.
