Living in Bristol was fun because there is always something new and exciting happening in the city. One day I became aware of the creative reactions program, an initiative to foster contacts between art and science. Through this program I got into contact with graphical artist Frankie Partridge, we spent long hours talking about complexity and eventually created some art together.

Cohesion and Chaos

Our artwork Cohesion and Chaos captures the attempts to rein in the complexities of life through research. The right-hand-side of the artwork depict variations in the style of figures from historical scientific manuscripts. The left-hand-side is a two-dimensional bifurcation diagram of the Takens-Bogdanove bifurcation combined with various phase portraits—one of the transitions that can occur on the route from regularity to chaos.

Reception

Cohesion and Chaos was shown at Hamilton House Gallery in Bristol, UK, for two weeks in 2016. Later that year it was also exhibited as part of the North Bristol Art trail.

The initial run of fourty limited edition prints has sold out.
