Deterministic Non-Periodic Flow, sculpture by Stephen Freedman
Stoneware
“The processes which give rise to the complexity we witness in nature are sometimes described in chaos theory as “deterministic non-periodic flow”; deterministic because each event is caused by a previous event, non-periodic since there is no necessarily repeating pattern, and flow as it is an emergent phenomenon. In a multi-variable equation, our human thinking, feeling, and sensing interoperate to produce a sense of reality. This work is the way I model that experience.
This piece is part of an on-going exhibition at Volcano Art Center’s Niaulani Sculpture Garden in Volcano Village.
