NATALIE DOWER AT EAGLE GALLERY

I was very interested to discover that the artist Natalie Dower has a second show at the Eagle Gallery in London (running until 16th January).
Her work is derived from a sophisticated analysis of geometry and proportion, including references to  the Fibonacci series, and to extraordinary things called 'Dudeney (or Hinged) Dissections'.  Read about them at 
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinged_dissection

There is also unambiguous formal referencing to Soviet Constructivist Art.

It's body of work that I think deserves heaps more critical acclaim.
Within the Tracks, 2015

A good commentary on her work, along with some of her own writing is at:
