Statement
(from
Brooklyn Fire Proof)
Xylor Jane's work draws on mathematical algorithms to make intricate
and staggering installations. Deriving her patterns from often basic
arthimetic exercises (such as the Fibonacci Series or prime numbers),
she deals in both complexity and simplicity, finding hidden curiosities
and subtle patterns amidst swarms of numbers. Her rigourous execution
highlights the personal touch and commitment she brings to each piece.
