Background, history, commissioner of the work
Hand carved as part of a body of work for my solo exhibition “Scientific Sublime” at Blank Gallery, Leeds City College, 2019. This was the first showing of work that arose out of my 18 month research role as artist in residence at University of Leeds School of Mathematics. This post was co funded by Arts Council England and the University.
Thematic/contextual information
Patterns in nature appear to be similar across varying scales… ripples in sand, waves on the ocean, geological folds in the earth, animal camouflage. What is the process that causes this?
At one level it is the physical action of wind, water, erosion, chemistry etc, but underlying these is a set of mathematical equations that set parameters within which patterns can form.
“Landscape” alludes to scale, ripples in sand or folds in the earths crust?
