In this series, I have been exploring mathematical patterns observable in nature that exist all around us creating fundamental structures and regularities of form in the natural world.
From algorithmic spirals common in plants and in some animals, notably molluscs to more complex patterns in living cell structures and fractal dimensions. Carving out these geometric patterns which attempt to give order to nature, using natural materials and pigments.
Having some understanding of the reasons behind the incredible visual structures in nature only deepens my appreciation of it and enhances the mystique surrounding it.
