From his desire to organize things, especially shapes, Richard Sarson created The Circle Project. The drawings were born from random doodles with a compass, tracing the same pattern continuously until a pattern emerged. They were produced between February and June 2006 by the recent RCAD (Royal College of Art and Design) graduate utilizing simple materials, a felt-tip pen and compass that created something complex – each drawing contains over a thousand circles. The analytical and mathematical approach is echoed in his poster series for the ON/OFF and Stability Sound Seminar Posters for the Royal College of Art Music Nights. An emerging artist with a mathematicians brain, we can't wait to see his work progress and grow! Via CH

“Math is hard; life is hard, but in the hands of Craig Damrauer, math and life come together with a unique and simple clarity in his New Math: Equations for Living flashcards. In the tradition of LCD artist Jenny Holzer, these equations turn words into art, investing tired concepts and commonplace events with new meaning.” Craig’s application of mathematical formula's to real-life feelings create witty and intelligent observations like Boca Raton = Long Island + 40 years and Foreign Country = obscure + exotic + CNN. The New Math flashcards are sure to spark conversation and are available from Environment 337.
