Tango Constructions

Our reality is both chaotic and structured. Two-dimensional geometry — a basic component of our world — is absolute, yet we cannot predict what may happen in the near or far future since it is chaotic and unpredictable. This is the underlying meaning of the Tango works, the struggle between chaois and structure.

The Tango Constructions derive from exploring multiple elements based on the original Tango format. The main painting is a ratio of 1.5 H : 9 W with two additional elements based on it, one element rotated at 27 deg, the other at 18 deg. I have been using twigs and other natural elements as a means of several years to demonstrate and define the unification of chaos and structure.
