Description

“Sailing with Pythagoras ” No.

This is a post-painterly abstract piece - geometric shapes that feature triangles- that is part of a series of studies on those shapes..

Originally I created this piece in pastels on construction paper! I then took a photo of it and created a digital rendering from that photo. The inspiration- sailboats viewed from the shore in Friday Harbor, Washington State- then converted to this image in my studio here in Asheville, North Carolina.

Theme and Symbolism: : It is said that triangles reveal concepts of past, present, and future or spirit, mind, and body with point-up triangles representing a strong foundation or stability or male energy and point-down triangles welcoming into the world or female energy.
In this paintography piece, the juxtaposition of color with changing light symbolizes the story of longing for connection .

Story and Method: : While celebrating the life of my dearest friend who loved nothing more than sailing, I hit upon the idea of expressing the Pythagorean Theorem in terms of sail design and, in particular, presenting a visual image of how the shape of sails affects their movement—a basic postulate of right triangle trigonometry.

Here, I reach out for the story or metaphor to share in a narrative via texture, patterns, repetition that meet in the feeling of something beyond the apparent.
