Process
This series of work, utilises the fibonacci series on numbers. This is to merge the the world of art and science together to make works that can have a sense of ‘controlled chaos’ about them. I believe art and science have the same working ethos with many experiments made to get the ‘right’ or correct result, then starting all over again to possibly try from a different perspective to make sure it is ‘working’ correctly. The sense to know you have achieved what you have set out to do is shared by both art AND science. These works are a window on that world. To achieve beauty with the Fibonacci number series.
Taking my inspiration from the merging of Art and Science through ‘natures number’ (the number series that defines and quantifies beauty), I have created a series of _images that mirror this ‘formula’.
_Each image, deliberately shot on a black background, has within it, the code of life. Each plant, shows its inner ‘spirit’ has its own glow, through the absence of light behind it. this reveals the life / energy exuding and pulsing / emerging from the verdant form. 72 degrees of rotation, frames of reference that incorporate the 1,1, 2, 3, 5, 8 and so on.
There is spontaneity within this mathematical conundrum, as I use the number series to create these works and not my own aesthetic values.
The Fibonacci Series
_By definition, the first two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two. (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610)
The Fibonacci sequence is named after Leonardo of Pisa, who was known as Fibonacci. Fibonacci’s 1202 book Liber Abaci introduced the sequence to Western European mathematics, although the sequence had been described earlier in Indian mathematics. (By modern convention, the sequence begins with F0 = 0. The Liber Abaci began the sequence with F1 = 1, omitting the initial 0, and the sequence is still written this way by some.)
___Fibonacci numbers are closely related to Lucas numbers in that they are a complementary pair of Lucas sequences. They are intimately connected with the golden ratio, for example the closest rational approximations to the ratio are 2/1, 3/2, 5/3, 8/5, …and so on. Applications include computer algorithms such as the Fibonacci search technique and the Fibonacci heap data structure, and graphs called Fibonacci cubes used for interconnecting parallel and distributed systems. They also appear in biological settings, such as branching in trees, arrangement of leaves on a stem, the fruit spouts of a pineapple, the flowering of artichoke, an uncurling fern and the arrangement of a pine cone.
