Ben Ridgway refers to his mathematic patterned and precise work as “Inner Space Art.” Though most of his animations are abstract, there is often some basis in reality. For example, in his animation “Cosmic Flower Unfolding,” the figures represented are not necessarily flowers as we imagine on Earth, but do evoke a sense of plant-like growth, making it a successful piece of abstract art. More of Ridgway’s work can be found on his Vimeo here.
