Hyerbolic Infinite II

Abstract

The research I undertook during my fellowship continues my interest in pattern systems and their relationship to the natural world. The pattern structures and colour codes make reference to scientific technologies, but also to the understandings of patterns from visual practices such as textiles, ceramics and architecture. As a researcher at the Department of Applied Mathematics I worked with Dr Vanessa Robins to investigate various overlaps in the understanding and mapping of spatial forms in textile and pure mathematical patterning. This has resulted in explorations of non-Euclidean geometries via knot theory and hyperbolic tilings. The work exhibited as part of this exhibition draws on the latter, specifically the EPINET database compiled by Dr Robins and colleagues Stuart Ramsden and Professor Stephen Hyde. Show more
