Collaboration with MathematicianJune 25, 2015

Over the winter I collaborated with David Freeman on a series of eight different art pieces. David is a mathematician and we worked together creating what we call ‘approximations’ to illustrate abstract notions of space, time and mathematical constructs. We ended up creating a whole lot of spirographs that ranged from 6 inch square to 14 inch square to 42 inch square. Sometimes I would start the piece and then hand it off to David to finish, sometimes the opposite was true. I have posted the first four small pieces below. The first three of these pieces will be shown in July at the Mathematical Art gallery show as part of the 2015 Bridges Conference.
