I regard myself as the architect of my own worldview. Yet, like most of us, the foundations of my knowledge are based on truths discovered by others.<\/p>\n

Using a code of point and line, on what amounts to an invisible – and borderless – plane, I create plans for jewellery in AutoCad.<\/p>\n

To do this work, I accept and use the tenets of Cartesian geometry, almost without question. But how can I rely on this system, when I don\u2019t know exactly how it all works?<\/p>\n

I decided to go right back to basics. I sought to rediscover the truths that allow my works to materialise, beginning at the point where philosopher and mathematician Ren\u00e9 Descartes thought himself, and then the blank plane, into existence.<\/p>\n

The drawings, as arranged before you, are the result of this search.<\/p>\n

In geometry I trust.<\/p>\n
