Geometries, Algorithms and Fine Art; Painting within mathematics calls upon mathematics to produce the subject and object of a painting simultaneously.
"Epuré is that rare bird, the mathematician and the poet in one". --Richard Demarco, the catalogue of the 25th Edinburgh International Jubilee Festival, 1971.
Two directions in the work have been developed since 1968:
1. S-Band-Combinatorial Poetry
The S-Band is a physical structure that produces artistical results when manipulated. When the manipulation includes the computer the S-Band becomes a generative analog-to-digital method that creates endless original, non-repetitive artwork.
2. The Meta-Phorms-Mathematical Poems [Meta+Metaphor+Forms]
Meta-Phorms are fine art representations of mathematical algorithms and procedures conceived specifically for art purposes.
