Label TextBoth art and science fascinate Rockburne, and many of her works explore correspondences of visual imagery, mathematics, physics, and astronomy. In this innovative series she folded sheets of paper according to carefully calculated patterns, then printed with clear oil paint from an aquatinted plate. With their delicate surfaces, and subtly shadowed planes, the unfolded sheets are half sculpture and half topographical chart.ProvenanceG.W. Einstein Company, Inc., New York, NYOn View
