Synthetic v. Nature is a study of form through the melding of the organic and the inorganic through a process of order and abstraction. Order is found through the use of two constant mediums, the photograph of a human-made artwork by artist Ruth Asawa, and the other taken of nature. The two pieces were then deconstructed through a method of rearranging these orders beginning on an individual basis and eventually as cohesive variations. Order then delineates into abstraction within a single collage which becomes the basis for extrusion where monochrome and grayscale hues generate depth within the forms, bringing three-dimensionality to what is otherwise two-dimensional.
