| Summary: | <p>This research project investigated the aesthetics of plants patterning formation through</p><p>the exploration of design elements and principles based on the concept of repetition</p><p>and difference (similarity and variation). The research project aimed to explore the</p><p>concept of repetition and difference within the context of natural plants organic</p><p>patterning mechanism and to reinterprets the phenomenon of repetition and difference</p><p>as agents in unifying the element order and chaos within the plants' organic patterning</p><p>system, creating a balanced and harmoniousformation. The key elements in the</p><p>research project consist of organic motifs of magnification, the proportional ratio of</p><p>Fibonacci, colour harmonies, rhythmic organisations and the illusions of depth. The key</p><p>artists involved in this research are Yayoi Kusama, GiuliaRicci, Richard Anuazkiewicz,</p><p>Andy Goldsworthy, Claude Monet, Georges Seurat, Sol LeWitt, Richard Deacon,</p><p>Peter Barnitz, Albert Yonathan Setyawan, and James Turrell. The reference artworks</p><p>evoke and reemphasise the importance of repetition and variation as conceptual</p><p>principles that secure the overall balance and rhythm of design compositions and</p><p>generate a visual impact of illusory and infinite-dimensional depths, as well as a sense</p><p>of continuity. The concept of Repetition and Difference by Deleuze, Ball and</p><p>Balmond, and the Colour Theory by Itten were used to contextualise the research</p><p>project. A Studio Practice Method was used through critical self-reflection, studio</p><p>experimentation, and contextual review approaches. The research project is</p><p>contributing to the field of Fine Art and other art and design industry by establishing</p><p>the collective issues and ideas with various installation approaches and technical</p><p>features in art productions demonstrating creativity on the aspects of the</p><p>interrelationship between repetition and difference generating harmony and unity</p><p>within the complexity of plants' organic patterning formation. Furthermore, this</p><p>research project would inspire new perceptions of the interactivity between repetition</p><p>and difference as patterning agents applicable in many aspects of constructing forms</p><p>and structures in understanding the greatness and uniqueness of nature.</p> |
