Paper Pool by Dave Dyment and Roula Partheniou is a mixed media sculpture made with a vintage wooden clipboard and paper, open varied edition, made in 2025.
Paper Pool was shown in the first collaborative exhibition by gallery artists Dave Dyment and Roula Partheniou. It explores play, perception, pattern recognition, and cognitive geometry, from early childhood development back to early civilization.
Loosely modelled after a Montessori classroom, the exhibition features works that take the form of games, puzzles, books, building blocks, flashcards, and other teaching aids. Elemental units such as numbers, letters, and basic shapes are mobilized as conceptual tools to parse how patterns both structure our thinking and emerge from it.
