PHI Inspiration
PHI is a Greek symbol that represents an irrational number which is based on the Fibonacci sequence (0,1,1,2,3,5,8…). When plotted this number sequence closely approximates to the Golden Ratio, and Golden Spiral. It is with this mathematical language that we begin to decode the underling structure of everything. Spiral energy fields are all around us and within us, patterning our very existence, from microcosm to macrocosm, determining structures from the tiny vortices of subatomic partials and DNA molecules to the awesome ‘island universes’ of galaxies where stars are born, and life is created. The spiral is nature’s most favoured pattern of growth and most efficacious deployer of its energy – creating, supporting and protecting life. The spiral form is a uniting symbol across nature and human culture, appearing as a sign of the eternal, creative and organising principles at work in the universe. These handbuilt one-of-a kind functional art pieces explore the hidden structure of our existence through the beauty and harmony of PHI. Each piece is decorated with custom designed and handmade stencles, silkscreen prints, and stamps. Every piece is made with small batch hand colored clay and formed using a soft slab handbuilt technique.
