Tracing the Contours of Art, Science, Technology and Cognitive Neuroscience
Category: 2000-2009
This collection showcases work Amy Ione created between 2000-2009.
Since the purpose of this website it to archive her work from the 1970s to the present, both successful and less successful work is displayed. The website chronology is sorted by decades and pieces are not further sorted by date within each decade.
For more information on any of the shown works, the caption below the painting is linked to details for that specific piece or send an email.
This Hyperbolic Surface sculpture was constructed out of paper in 2001 with Christopher W. Tyler.
Connecting regular 7-sided polygons (heptagons) together to form a surface results in a geometry that cannot exist in flat (Euclidean)
space. Instead, it creates a regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. Specifically, the arrangement where three heptagons meet at each vertex
forms the heptagonal tiling with Schläfli symbol. Continue reading “Hyperbolic Surface by Christopher W. Tyler and Amy Ione”
Space Study #1 exemplifies my ongoing investigation into the intersection of art, science, and visual cognition. The painting’s layered hues—derived from a limited palette of red, green, and white—demonstrate how subtle shifts in chromatic balance can generate a sense of depth and spatial ambiguity.

Space Study #2 (2002) began as a simple spiral but evolved over time into a more vital and animated surface. Its foundational elements are the spiral, the texture of the masonite board, and the pairing of cadmium orange and ultramarine blue. Complementary colors, the orange and blue emerge as a chromatic opposition that generates vibrancy and depth. Continue reading “Space Study #2 (2002)”
The inspiration for this medley of three blue circles was a cup and saucer. Its design is accentuated by the way the textured paint evokes clay structures. How the shades of blue and white come together perceptually adds a spatial depth that teases the viewer’s experience of it. Continue reading “Study: 3 Blue Circles with Texture”
Undulating shades of black, pink, and silver, patterned to tease the viewer perceptually on close engagement. For variations on this theme, see Maquette #1 and Maquette #2.
