Snowflake A snowflake is either a single ice crystal or an aggregation of ice crystals which falls through the Earth's atmosphere. They begin as snow crystals which develop when microscopic supercooled cloud droplets freeze. Snowflakes come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Complex shapes emerge as the flake moves through differing temperature and humidity regions, such that individual snowflakes are almost always unique in structure.
Web Of Wyrd This symbol is where the English word 'weird' comes from. It combines every runic letter and symbolised past, present and future for Pagan Anglo Saxons. It represents the Universe and fate.
HILBERT CURVE A Hilbert Curve is a continuous fractal space-filling curve first described by the German mathematician David Hilbert in 1891, as a variant of the space-filling Peano curves discovered by Giuseppe Peano in 1890. Perhaps coincidentally, the Shipibo-Conibo people of the Amazonian rainforest have been using this method in their creativity for centuries.

LiTE-HAUS welcomes English artist Alaric Hobbs' detailed and mesmerizing illustrations. Hobbs holds a degree in Contemporary Crafts at Falmouth University in Cornwall. He ignited his passion for drawing using a simple tool: a pencil. Throughout his sculptural and two-dimensional work he noticed how geometry was subconsciously evident. Combining the geometric knowledge he gained at University with various influential illustrative styles, he aims to portray a number of illustrations in geometric forms that have been influenced from something he finds fascinating in the world, such as tribal symbols, ancient alphabets, symbols of belief and the beauty of the natural world. Hobbs states "Personally, I don't feel art should look pretty, it should influence too."
