His works are connected to and inspired by a wide patchwork of sources as diverse as the Sufi poet Rumi, minimalist music, ikat and other traditional textiles, digital images, a deep knowledge of the rich tradition of abstract painting, and computer scientist Stephen Wolfram’s discovery of simple, reiterated procedures that yield complex and unpredictable results. Visually, Mendelsohn’s works are built by repeating the same pattern over and over again, rendered in a specific combination of hues. They become visual fields in perpetual flux: images that are trying to emerge from a series of similar, yet changing elements, suggesting waves, mistakes, or thoughts.
