Channing Hansen is a polymath who draws inspiration from the inherent beauty he finds in biological processes, genetic patterns, chaos theory, fractals, and the Fibonacci sequence. His artworks take the form of vibrantly colored, framed textiles he handknits according to algorithmic plans generated by a custom software program. These intricate plans echo the precision of DNA sequencing, and Hansen’s translation of them into textiles mixes traditional artistic methods and craftsmanship with scientific principles foundational to our understanding of the world.
