RULES: CONVENTION, SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS IN A SEARCH FOR VISUAL
LANGUAGE
An LKL Maths-Art seminar by
Natalie Dower
Tuesday 11 September, 6.00 – 7.30pm
Coherence requires rules based on knowledge, but with rapid
dissemination of new information between disciplines the visual language
to be used is, more than it ever was, the choice of the individual. This
talk will cover some examples of interdisciplinary influence,
particularly work based on the Dudeney Dissection, and will give
consideration of appreciation and deconstruction of visual images by the
viewer.
NATALIE DOWER trained at St Martin’s, Camberwell and the Slade. We are
pleased to have Natalie speak at LKL at the same time as her tutor at
Camberwell, Kenneth Martin, has a retrospective exhibition with his wife
Mary Martin at Camden Arts Centre
[
www.camdenartscentre.org] (moving to Tate St Ives and the De la Warr
Pavilion at Bexhill-on-Sea).
Since Natalie moved away from figurative work in the mid-1960s she has
been seen as a constructivist artist in the spirit of the Martins,
employing a combination of geometry and system in her work. Her work
encompasses both painting and sculpture. She finds structure is the vital
element in painting so it is not surprising that she also creates reliefs
and sculptures. Like Mary Martin's work, their complexity grows out of
the simplicity of the initiating ideas: to take an idea and open it out
to show its richness. Her work on the square-to-triangle dissection
puzzle by H E Dudeney has inspired her for many years.
TIME: 6.00 - 7.30pm, Tuesday 11 September 2007
