“For me the pleasure of the aesthetic experience lies in finding a balance between a guiding structure and a variety of embellishments; a harmony of order and movement. I like the idea that we can observe the medley of forms in a plant and take from that a few expressive elements that once crafted/constructed will function as a symbol for all nature. There is a yearning for perpetuity embodied in pattern, and a desire to understand nature’s sublime secret of creation.” – Tim Main
