Square Root Painting

My interest in geometry is based on a search for fundamentals and the hope that through understanding the drawn basis of math it may change my understanding of the world. Working without measurement everything is drawn in relation to everything else and it is those relations / the paterns, that matter. I feel it's a less atomic and positivist way of thinking. In this vein, working on the geometry inherent in nature, I have begun consider what a strange notion ‘0’ is. As nothing is every really gone in nature. If something goes in the bin or down the toilet, it is not gone… Also, how ‘1’ could be considered as the largest number, the whole. Relational mathmatics seems to make more sense is a divisional sequence descending to infinity from ‘1’. With no ‘0’. Perhaps, number systems influence society’s philosophy towards the environment / nature? Could the abstraction of the additive decimal system with its infinite growth and the existence of ‘0’ be a part of our removal from nature? Are there such things as historians and philosophers of maths? The paintings are works in progress, with each layer being rubbed out with a thin veil of black paint. The effect is to build a look which is similar to an old school blackboard. A history of learning…
