Kathy Holland Painting E-mail: kathyhollandartist@comcast.net Stream Lines, Franz Josef Glacier, NZ (2003) acrylic on panel, 24" x 36" Turbulence, Iguazu Falls (2003) acrylic on panel, 18" x 24" My recent work has evolved out of two lifelong passions. Landscape has always had a powerful pull on me, shaping my sensibilities from an early age and profoundly affecting my (professional) work. The more latent, subconscious influence of mathematics developed from an early aptitude and an exhilarating pursuit into a more recent, particular interest in chaos theory, turbulence, interference and fractal patterns. These works explore such diverse natural phenomena as cloud formations, weather patterns, waterfalls, waves, vast schools of fish and the structure of galaxies and nebulae. That they are related by certain structures which recur in nature, ranging in scale from the galactic to the microscopic, suggests to me a continuity throughout the physical universe, and a glimpse of the infinite. Working at the intersection of art and science presents me with certain tensions and dichotomies: the sensuous and the austere, the intellectual and the intuitive, the physical and the spiritual, the vast and the intimate.
