Liz Coats - Pentagrams






	Observing ways that combinations of decisive and accidental images arise, has lead me to an interest in cognitive functions, i.e. what I experience and know in painting practice, I am interested to see described from other positions, including scientifically. Aspects of crystallography and formal geometry, both as descriptors of spatial depth and as cultural metaphors, became increasingly important when I began to look at float glass as a transparent matrix for colour painting in the early 1990's.
