Organic Geometry (Spectrum I)In this series, Michael Barringer wants to make deeply felt, poetic images, but bring them about by a formal system of repetitive, layered geometry. They are based on existing things: another artist's iconic works, a poem, a scientific fact, a sacred object, and ancient cave paintings, to name a few. His guiding principles are to distill, to hone, and to focus. As Brice Marden has said, Thinking and physicality become one.
