Recapitulation Theory

Recapitulation Theory I, II, III (2016) Paperconstruction from handcut rephotographed maps 28 inch sq Barbara Wildenboer’s main focus is on environmental aesthetics and the mathematical sublime. She sees environmental aesthetics as something that not only encompasses natural territories, but as also extending to human interaction with the natural realm. By drawing from the work of individual scientists, discoverers, authors and mathematicians she places emphasis on the interconnected relationship of a myriad of life forms on both a macro and micro level. The work is concerned with the idea of the mathematical sublime and how a boundless, formless universe could be regarded as something that transcend the limits of reason. https://www.instagram.com/barbarawildenboer/ http://barbarawildenboer.com/
