Simeon Nelson works between the disciplines of art and science, exploring pattern, scale, perception and systemic connections. He produces sculptures and installations, often collaborating with musicians, programmers and scientists on funded interdisciplinary projects.
Currently his work is inspired by developments in physics, including quantum, chaos and complex systems theory – research that continue to revolutionise the human and physical sciences. They envision an organic,
inter-relational and ceaselessly creative cosmos. His sculptures and installations give visual form to aspects of these extraordinary developments.
