Super COLLIDER A PDF of colour, scale and crop samples from the sculptural CGI drawing Collider New work by Chuck Elliott / 07.2011 / pdf v1.01 / EDIT Super COLLIDER is a new seies of drawings, derived from the Fibonacci number sequence. The sequence is 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21 and so forth, and defines a multiplicity of natural forms including a rolling wave, a sunflower head, the arc of the galaxy and the human ear. Even the bones in the human hand are defined by the flow of the sequence.

For several years I’ve been trying to adapt the sequence into a complex geometry that somehow works, and produce a new sculptural drawing from it. After much experimentation, I’ve generated Collider, a kaleidoscopic image that embodies the sequence, the curve it creates, and a sense of the natural forms it describes.

This document is designed simply as a bare bones overview of the work. A selection of the images will be editioned as Lambda prints after colour balancing and scale testing. The larger circular works may well be editioned at 1400 or 1800mm diameter, so that the finely detailed central core can be clearly seen and the scale will heighten the drawing’s strong visual impact. The cropped views will be editioned at smaller sizes. Final dimensions and edition choices to be confirmed.
