The concept for this work was inspired by a logarithmic spiral that is expressed through the density and scale of patterns in the form of a fabric origami tessellation and the subtle changes of the watercolor hues.
This piece won an Honorable Mention at the Mathematical Art Exhibition at the Joint Mathematics Meeting in 2023.
Acknowledgments: Thanks to Hannah Jones for help with sewings.
