Tricky Walsh navigates between science, philosophy and speculative fiction in works that range across painting and sculptural installation. 'Broken symmetries' envisions a ’cosmological singularity’ when immortality is achieved through the merging of multiple selves, alternative universes and contrasting timeframes. The artist uses speculative mathematics and geometry as the basis of the visual and theoretical structures that form the image and its textual references. The mathematical composition over-stimulates and disrupts the senses; its elusive algorithms hover at the edge of consciousness. Walsh’s work can be understood as a speculative blueprint for future realization — unfinishable and unprovable.
