Minimal Surface Series | Drawing | 2017
(Bryant-Kusner parametrization with neural network detected retinal vasculature)
This series of drawings contrast two very different ways of modeling the world and our ideas about it. Minimal surfaces are surface area-minimizing objects discovered by Mathematicians. Suspended beneath these objects are the fractal-like blood vessels of the human retina.
Size
31 × 22 inches - Framed
Materials
Ink, pencil and watercolour on paper
