The object in this series of prints was created in 2007 out of three equations that I wrote while exploring basic and abstract mathematical concepts to create architectural shapes. When rendered in space, these equations produced geometric surfaces that intersected each other to form a topological object.
Arriving to the object involved the integration of knowledge, experimentation, cognition and creativity. The knowledge of mathematics and geometry, the willingness to experiment with principles outside what I knew possible, the cognition to learn from the emerging geometry, and the creativity to explore different ways of representing the newly existing Object. Shown here are pigment prints of four different views of the very first object I created following this process.
In Grecian times philosopher Aristotle said: “All men by nature desire to know.” Since then we have set out in a journey to know more, to test what we know and to know what we don’t. We have both the sciences and the arts to help us navigate the waters of the unknown. Integrating both only seems natural.
