GEOMETRIC SEQUENCE

The origin of patterning comes from nature; it exists within construction, of environments that include this natural world, as well as the world invented by us. We see geometric patterning everywhere around us. Despite the fact that geometric sequence is borne out of a cornucopia of circumstance and realities, there does seem to be a thread of continuity and unification present, and this is illustrated by the work in this exhibition. Even among the seemingly random juxtaposition of form and energy in some of the works, the basic order of the physical world presents itself. Whether this order is obvious, or assumed, or suggested, it is the combination of presentations in this exhibition that ensures and clarifies its understanding.

Colorado photographer Merrimon Crawford has three images accepted into a juried exhibit, Geometric Sequence, at the Caladan Gallery from November 1-December 14. 2009. Please feel free to visit the gallery's online exhibit.

Merrimon Crawford's passion for photography began when she bought her first SLR camera at age 12 with winnings from Bingo at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club. Her study of photography began a few months later at Phillips Academy (Andover, Massachusetts). She received a B.A. in photography and literature from Bennington College. Color and digital photography mark a new direction in her artwork.
