Metamosaic #1

<p>Tyler Boswell’s “Metamosaic” delves into the concept of relativity, emphasizing how our understanding of objects hinges upon their relationships with other elements — whether through neighboring units, contrasting scale references, or familiar counterparts. The interplay of comparisons like these provides a comforting comprehension of a entity’s essence, even while it may appear functionally indecipherable.</p> <p>“Metamosaic” specifically takes inspiration from the widespread use of squares in breaking down spatial contexts, where the use of blocks, pixels, and varying units of measurement adeptly mediate discrepancies between scales and contents. Whether recalling human-made divisions of land, digital screens, cartography, or tilework, this series celebrates the precision of the grid and the hidden complexity of underlying detail it can contain. It suggests an uncharted world within each composition, one that’s a minuscule yet indispensable fragment of something vast and incomprehensible. Patterns may lurk within every piece, even as their origins seem random and boundless. At its essence, this is an abstracted exploration of contrasting units whose randomness is accentuated so far that they ultimately highlight the profound similarity and unity that transcends vastly differing scales.</p>
