In his influential dialogueThe Republic, Plato writes that geometry will draw the soul toward truth.
Its a sentiment thats found expression in architecture, design, and the art ofAdam Williamson.
Throughout his career, the London-based artist has consistently been guided by geometric principles.
Im inspired by the principles of symmetry, tessellation, and fractals.
They are the universal principles that govern growth and structure.
This fascination is captured in his recentSummer Sphere Project, created in his London studio last summer.
Incorporating an original pattern combination byAmeet Hindocha,Summer Sphere Projectshowcases Williamsons confidence in shaping wood.
The sculpture boasts a mesmerizing rosette pattern, originally drawn onto the sphere with compasses and tailors tape.
It uses 4,9, and 15-fold rosettes, Williamson explains.
The patterns seamlessness is further enhanced by its materials.
For Williamson, this is crucial.
Its principles are beyond time and place.
I feel at peace working with these forms.
Summer Sphere Projectis only the first of three spheres that Williamson and his studio will construct.
