About the Artwork:
Artist and mathematician Stuart Errol Anderson used subdivision software designed by Cannon Floyd Parry along with a circle-packing algorithm created by the mathematician Ken Stephenson to create a series of dense and complicated tessellating patterns.
Slight algorithmic imperfections occasionally lead to flaws in the geometric patterns, giving rise to images which hover somewhere between the beauty of perfect mathematical order, and the beauty to be found in surprisingly chaotic disorder.

New Zealand born Artist and Mathematician Stuart Errol Anderson, studied Classical Civilisations, English, Philosophy, Mathematics at Newcastle University in Australia, before moving to Sydney and switching studies to the Visual Arts; studying Sculpture, Sound, Film, Multimedia and Computer Programming at Sydney College of the Arts (now part of Sydney University). Since 2000 he has been doing research and study in a range of art related and mathematics topics, with his most developed research being in the area of squared square dissections. Recently Stuart is interested in the mathematical properties of networks, the multiple representations and possible applications including tiling and neural networks
