MATH SOURCE PAINTINGS
1999 - 2003

The works based on mathematical formulas employ chance in the form of random numbers generated on a calculator and the principle of self-similarity that was derived from chaos theory.
Self-similarity describes a phenomenon found in nature where natural forms exhibit shapes that repeat themselves in ever smaller scales within the structure of the form. I used this principle by generating sets of forms (drawn with CAD software) derived by the formulas and repeated at different scales to provide complex patterns.

There are 40 works in this series. All works are in acrylic paint and enamel on cast acrylic sheets or enamel on wood panels.
