Next is @baabbaash speaking about "Zigzag Mosaics and Single-Line Drawings." He shows us how to create #MathArt from single-line drawings (paper here: archive.bridgesmathart.org/202…). The trick is to modulate the zig-zag of the line to make it lighter/darker at a pixel.

As one who studied Euclidean #geometry in college, I sometimes have trouble engaging too deeply sacred geometry, but that star figure on the top left actually has some really nice properties around basic fractions. At a party, I once had someone ask me if sacred geometry was a non-Euclidean geometry. Fair question. I wonder what the cat thinks.

This piece is #watercolor, ink, and mica watercolor on paper. The bronze knot shimmers on the light. #MathArt

Painting of an unusual circular link with three components, each in a different color. Two of the links are trefoil knots, and the third is has 6 cross-overs but is equivalent to the unknot. The background is deep burgundy with subtle linear patterns drawn in with black ink. A tiny black cartoon cat sits on the knot and stares at the viewer.

Black holes suck in everything, including, cats, hypercubes, and Fano planes. I drew and painted this piece with watercolor paint, colored pencil, black ink, and mica watercolor on a 6” square of cotton paper. #doodle #MathArt #geometry #ScienceArt #MastoArt #watercolor #SpaceArt #Astro
Painting of a black hole surface like a funnel, but it’s actually orange, pink and purple. Planets with geometric patterns float above the surface with cats sitting on top of them. The surface of the hole is gridded and decorated with doodles like plankton and networks.

My drawings of a few types of infinite series from 2019… The top left includes the Devil’s Staircase function, a continuous function that is constant almost everywhere. The top right is inspired by #Escher; the bottom left includes a Sierpinski triangle, and the fourth is inspired by Diego Uribe’s book “Fractal Cuts.” Each #doodle is about 3.5” by 5.5” with ink and colored pencil on paper. The dots sparkle in mica paint. #fractal #math #MathArt #ColoredPencil #doodle #microbes #ScienceArt #art
4 drawings of fractals. One includes two fractal staircases, decorated with Yip Yip muppets, a cat, whale, tessellated planet and network graphs. A second has bilateral symmetry with big squares at top, getting smaller towards the bottom, decorated with dog faces, a moth and two lizards. The third is a Sierpinski triangle with a rabbit thinking about a carrot, microbes, aliens on a tessellated planet, and a network graph. The fourth has overlapping squares that decrease in size, decorated with sea horses in love, aliens and graphs.

Happy New Year!
The number 2023 depicted as a collection of 2023 hexagons, part of an ongoing series of artworks expressing the positive integers as a geometric arrangement of identical simple visual elements.

Penrose tiling quilt

Making my first quilt, based on a famous mathematical tessellation.
Needlessly complex
