There is a beautiful, intricate dance that occurs in our brains in order to understand what we see. The eyes take in an image and almost instantaneously we decode and process patterns – looking for repetition. But what happens when we try to decipher something that appears to be more chaotic, such as an aperiodic pattern? Is chaos just another kind of order waiting to be discovered? If a pattern doesn’t repeat, but retains an unknowable order, can chaos ever be truly understood? My installations introduce interference to non repeating patterns, generating a formless formalism. New hybrid forms are created from the intermixing of periodic with the aperiodic. In "3 Space" one dimensional, two dimensional and 3 dimensional sculptures interact with light. The exterior light from the street and reflections from pedestrians are integrated using polycarbonate mirrors connecting the macrocosm of quantum effects in the aperiodic patterns as a model of everything in our reality.

Artist Bio:
Christine Soccio was born in Paterson, NJ. Her recent work focuses on aperiodic patterns as they relate to the underlying structures of reality. She sets up systems of interference that generate new forms, mixing interactions such as diffracted light, orthographic string projections, and rhombic tiling. Her work has been exhibited in various venues throughout the United States, including: MagnanMetz Gallery, (NYC), The Affordable Art Fair, (NYC), CWOW, (Newark, NJ), The Gateway Project, (Newark, NJ), Woman Made Gallery, (Chicago, IL), Fuse Art Infrastructure, (Allentown, PA), 14th Colony Show, (Salisbury, CT), and George Segal Gallery, (Montclair, NJ). Her work has been recently reviewed in the Star Ledger and the Asbury Press. She graduated with a BFA from The School of Visual Arts, (NYC), and MFA from Montclair State University, (Montclair, NJ). The artist currently lives and works in the NYC area.
