MELODIC COLLAGES

Digital exploration of symmetry and evolution of beauty. Referring to ancient arts of flower arrangements. A study of the balance of design while maintaining a natural flow. Recreated generatively.

Nico Tone

The Melody of the flower

Nature reflecting upon itself within this ordered chaos visual riddle. In each chapter of the work more hints are revealed.

Recurring Reflection

In this series of works Nico Tone deals with digital interpretations of abstract painting works. The repetitive slow movement of the different fragments constructs new evolving compositions and conveys a powerful, ever changing yet relaxing and meditative visual abstract rhythms. By the mid-1880s, crazy quilts were so popular that enterprising manufacturers offered them in ready-to-sew kits, which often included appliqués. This practice explains the strangely uniform quality of many crazy quilts, and makes those crazy quilts that are not formulaic seem all the more extraordinary. Each block of this quilt top is designed with unusual patterns, and the blocks seem to be composed of real scraps. There are some commercially produced elements, such as the cats and some of the embroidered motifs, which were probably marked with patterns, but the original aspects of this piece make it stand apart from the run-of-the-mill crazy quilts that exist in great numbers today.
