Series One:
Creative MathArt
Series One: “Creative MathArt”, consists of original, expressive art that is not meant to teach a definite math topic. The lines, forms, colors, letters, numbers, symbols, equations, etc., of this MathArt have only one purpose:
To bring to life the idea and emotion of creativity in the realm of mathematics.
While my Creative MathArt obviously contains elements of the language of math — actual, meaningful, mathematical symbols and statements —these are employed only as elements of design rather than as a technical communication on the subject of math. My intention is to produce an aesthetic and emotional effect on the viewer. In other words, these drawings are intended to be art using math as a vehicle for artistic communications.
