About the Artwork
In Fractal, Maggi Hodge explores the relationship between geometric repetition, fragmentation, and visual structure through a dynamic abstract composition. Expansive passages of pale turquoise, deep black, crisp white, and vibrant yellow establish a striking visual contrast, while rhythmic orange and teal markings introduce movement and energy. Angular shapes, intersecting lines, and repeated patterns create an intricate, fractured grid, transforming familiar geometric elements into an expressive arrangement that feels simultaneously architectural and spontaneous.
What distinguishes Fractal is its interplay between mathematical suggestion and intuitive expression. Engaging the visual language of geometric abstraction and Abstract Expressionism, Hodge uses recurring patterns, irregular outlines, and gestural brushwork to create a dynamic tension between structured geometry and spontaneous mark-making. Rather than presenting a literal mathematical diagram, Hodge explores the ways complexity can emerge from simple forms.
Through its bold color fields, rhythmic patterns, and fragmented structures, Fractal invites contemplation of repetition, transformation, and interconnected systems, offering an expressive meditation on order, variation, and creative possibility.
