Thanks to my friend Dom Ciancibelli for inspiring this work.

The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual plant native to the Americas in the family Asteraceae. What is usually called the flower is actually a head of numerous flowers crowded together. The florets within this cluster are arranged spirally. Typically each floret is oriented toward the next by approximately the golden angle, producing a pattern of interconnecting spirals where the number of left spirals and the number of right spirals are successive Fibonacci numbers. At sunrise, the faces of most sunflowers are turned towards the east. Over the course of the day, they move to track the sun from east to west, while at night they return to an eastward orientation.
Original 60cm x 60cm, 2007. Archival pigment ink on Torchon fine art paper print, mounted and framed. No border. Handled and signed. Edition of 1 (SOLD) + 1 artist proof for my collection. This image explores another interesting line of enquiry, well actually (to be entirely accurate) it combines two. First, it explores the Fibonacci number system; 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89… Second, it demonstrates an important technique. A technique based on combining component works in the digital domain to produce an entirely new outcome in the real world. A technique I call Fusion. In this instance three component images have been layered. First a scanned acrylic on paper painting; second a photograph of an oil pastel on paper painting taken with deliberate camera movement; and third an original digital painting. All these components were made with this specific outcome in-mind, but this is not always the case. Indeed all outcomes – both analogue and digital – are stored in a library and have the potential of being a component in a future Fusion. http://blog.codedimages.com / http://codedimages.com / http://revad.com
collograph + watercolour Five is between 4 and 6 and is the third prime number, after 2 and 3, and before 7. Because it can be written as 2(21)+1, five is classified as a Fermat prime. 5 is the third Sophie Germain prime, the first safe prime, and the third Mersenne prime exponent. Five is the first Wilson prime and the third factorial prime, also an alternating factorial. It is an Eisenstein prime with no imaginary part and real part of the form 3n − 1. It is also the only number that is part of more than one pair of twin primes. Five is conjectured to be the only odd untouchable number and if this is the case then five will be the only odd prime number that is not the base of an aliquot tree. The number 5 is the 5th Fibonacci number, being 2 plus 3. 5 is also a Pell number and a Markov number, appearing in solutions to the Markov Diophantine equation: (1, 2, 5), (1, 5, 13), (2, 5, 29), (5, 13, 194), (5, 29, 433), ... (A030452 lists Markov numbers that appear in solutions where one of the other two terms is 5). Whereas 5 is unique in the Fibonacci sequence, in the Perrin sequence 5 is both the fifth and sixth Perrin numbers. / (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_%28number%29)

Do objects in space turn infinitely? Maybe, but this was just done for some fun, shot in dark with a bicycle wheel and a flashlight taped to one of the inside wheels wires or spokes…....

Original 50cm x 70cm, 2007. Archival pigment ink on stretched canvas. No border. Handled and signed. Edition of 1 (available) + 1 artist proof for my collection. Inspired by Fibonacci’s phi (golden section). To create this outcome, two scans of an original acrylic on paper painting (taken at different stages in the construction) have been fused together in the digital domain. The key here is line, colour and composition with composition being uppermost in my mind during the process of creation. Other images in the phi line of enquiry can be viewed on the blog. http://blog.codedimages.com / http://codedimages.com / http://revad.com

Edition of 1 (available) + 1 artist proof for my collection. http://blog.codedimages.com / http://codedimages.com / http://revad.com An outcome created at the cross-over between three lines of enquiry: phi, circle and square, and gesture.

Original 80cm x 80cm, 2009. Archival pigment ink on stretched canvas. No border. Handled and signed. One of 9 images intended to be viewed together as a single installation. Edition of 1 (available) + 1 artist proof for my collection. One of a series of outcomes based on two lines of enquiry: circle and square and phi. This new enquiry goes on to explore variations in composition based on position and colour. There are a number of related posts on the coded images blog. This image is the first random mix of the eight primary images. http://blog.codedimages.com / http://codedimages.com / http://revad.com
I had to have spent an hour I think just throughly entranced by the Fibonacci like pattern in this sun flower. The shit the Universe throws at us some times is beyond amazing!

Part of an abstract collection of work I collaborated on called XX_XX (twenty twenty). Done purely for experimentally abstract fun! The idea was to tap into the noise of the unconscious, using mixed media. No logo’s, no product, no celebrity faces! This piece was inspired by background radiation, carbon and spiral patterns in nature :p I’m going to upload a few more so let me know what you think!
