Combining a mathematical precision of form
with an aesthetic patterned after the natural world, Thor Adam Goodall
creates intricate and exquisite images of nautiluses using a unique digital
bromide technique.
Goodall uses the contemporary technology of digital art to build upon the
early 19th century art of photographing radiolari, microscopic plankton
found in the sea.
In images inspired by the organic repetition found in fractals, Goodall's
art mimics the forms of shells and coral, with perfect symmetries,
three-dimensional textures, and a splendid abstraction of natural
structures.
In their clarity of design and the elegance of the pearl and
silver tones on a deep black background, Goodall's nautiluses appear almost
otherworldly: "Taking the essence of these alien forms, I produce new weird
visions that lay somewhere between documentary, fantasy and photography,"
he says.
Goodall studied graphic design and visual communication at
Goldsmiths College in London, and has exhibited his work throughout England.
He currently works in his studio in Norfolk, England. |
