Eric Mack Biography
Form communicates emotion.
Pattern
transmits expression.
Rhythm is the basis
of our visual world, from the windows and tile arrangements found in our
homes, to the composition of plant life and oceanic creatures. Most every
form of matter that we acknowledge throughout our daily lives posses the
evidence of rhythmic life.
Rhythm structures
tone and sound. It gives shape to speech, melody, dance, poetry, and the
human body. Without rhythm light, sound, and other forms could not be
differentiated from one another as it is their frequency or rhythmic
waveforms that define them.
While exploring and
exposing various subject matter, my goal is to recognize how shape, form,
and pattern are primary in our daily outlook.
The works created can
be described as visual sheet music. Blocks and angles of color brushed
and smudged across random perimeters of various medium. Broken and solid
line work split and gel together the variety of hue and shape. Found
within the core of the work are the cultural references, signs of
technological advances, schematical diagrams, component dials and
switches are all included for their fundamental form. Most of them are
basic circles, squares, and triangles. When these ideas are put together
it creates a piece of music that is seen instead of heard. The rhythm of
life is inhaled and exhaled with each day that is given to us.
By realizing the
fundamentals of our daily visual experiences, individuals can relate and
appreciate the role that rhythm plays in our lives.
