Paintings: Works on Paper
Works on Paper
These paintings on archival paper reflect my interest in simple geometric images and my ongoing use of mathematics for subject matter. For many of them, I apply a formal grid system which I designed using the geometric principles of dynamic symmetry as described by Jay Hambidge in his book The Elements of Dynamic Symmetry.

Geometric Screen 4
...acrylic paint + ink drawing on archival paper...subdivided within a √2 proportioned area using the geometric principle of dynamic symmetry...described in my paper titled “A process for generating 2D paintings and drawings from geometric diagrams” (published in the Journal of Mathematics and the Arts, v2 no. 1, March 2008)...appears in that article as a Figure 4...19” x 27” (47.5cm x 69cm)...© Elizabeth Whiteley
