We work at the intersection of art, science, math and engineering. In expressing the beauty of dynamical systems in math, we often drawn to laminated materials, revealing the beauty in subtle relief and patterns found in negative spaces. For example, in our resin work, we incorporate rare earth silicate phosphors, photoluminescent dyes, mica, glass beads, and pigments to achieve desired optical properties in each layer. The combination of translucent, opaque, fluorescent and photoluminescent materials create the gradients and color mixing properties in these pieces.
Our latest work in sculpture, “Fundamental Vibration” conflates color science, sacred geometry, Buckminster Fuller’s closely packing spheres experiments and sound.
In our museum shown series, 0+0i, Mathscaper has expressed the beauty of complex plane dynamics visually through machining in wood and metal, illustrating and mirroring fractals in stunning works using wood, metal, and light. Mathscaper mirrors nature in illustrating mathematically perfect spirals that become infinitely smaller, linking chaos, art, and our understanding of infinity in this symbiotic and graceful exhibit.
