About


Art

Math is more than formulas and equations, its logic and beauty that is can be seen in the simplest of things: the formation of petals on a flower, the path in which glass shatters, the dispersion of a splash.  Math is everywhere if you only take time to notice it.  There is a large amount of math involved in art, not only the basic things like measuring and lines, but the intricacies of art can often be described using math.  But for non-math people, mathematics and art seem like completely different worlds.  Eryn's work looks at the mathematical principles that occur in everyday life, and turns them into an obvious beauty in artwork.  As the mathematician G.H. Hardy famously said “there is no permanent place in this world for ugly mathematics.” In a quest to prove theorems, mathematicians are guided by aesthetics as much as intellectual curiosity.  As an artist Eryn is similarly driven by creativity expression and aesthetics.  Focusing on creating new objects from nothing, the same way a mathematician creates a logical framework for a proof or problem.  Eryn's art is an avenue to show that the art world and the math world are the same: complex and beautiful.  Math should be understandable to everyone, and maybe the best way to do that is through visual work explaining the principles, but that is yet to be determined. Even outside of mathematical art, Eryn's art takes a look at the the details of the world in which we live in. Looking at not only the mechanical but the natural as well.
