An abstract structure from math. Celebrating the beauty of a seemingly simple function: Real and imaginary part of complex function 1/z - "Reality and Imagination".
For the first time drawn traditionally on paper "for real". Geometric drawing - axonometry with ruler and compass, creating the "3D view" from the view from above - "cloverleaf-like", placed in the center of the drawing - and from the side - where circles become just lines. Graphite pencil, watercolor pencils, ballpoint pens.
The contour lines of these functions are actually just circles whose radii decrease reciprocally with height, and which are aligned along one point of the circumference. The towers of reality and imagination can be rotated into one another. I also often call them "trumpets" - it's 4 trumpets, two blue and two red ones, each opening up to an infinite circle.
Elke Stangl (elkement) (she/her) is an Austrian physics PhD working as an engineer. Her mathematical art is borne out of her life-long passion for the theoretical underpinnings of her craft. She is creating virtual three-dimensional structures from mathematical functions – digitally with code or with ruler and compass, using.. Read more…
