DescriptionThis work is created in an edition of 75 on a small slate board framed in wood. The central image is a flower arranged as in the golden mean: a naturally occurring number, like pi, that repeatedly occurs in various relationships. Unlike pi, it clearly and regularly appears in the growth patterns of many living things, like the spiral formed by a seashell or the curve of a fern. The outer wooden rim of the work represents numbers arranged as the Fibonacci Series: a sequence of numbers; 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, … in which any number is the sum of the two preceding members.On View
