The Mathematics of Beauty > Introduction
Two issues that gave me a headache and a paralytic ennui:
Moving away from this wall I was up against, helped me to zoom out and look at the big picture. I have always been facinated with the structure of beauty. Throughout the years I have developed quite a library of books and articles on mathermatics and visual perception. I started this web site on Math and Beauty for my class project because I thought it was fun and interesting. The arc of the project has given me greater agility interms of my skillset with Dreamweaver, as well as a flexible matix with which I can see my own works as an artist as part of a larger whole. I will continue developing and editing the content, as well as integrating examples of my own artworks. The following poem by Rainer Maria Rilke captures the essence of the recursive nature of the creative process:

The idea for this web site changed many times throughout the project. I knew I wanted to work on something other than another portfolio site. I wanted to do something different that just organizing images of my archive of art works. Many times I have attempted to structure and restructure my body of work as an artist.
