Artist Statement:
Sarah Gelsinger Brewer teaches interdisciplinary #mathart (and pure mathematics) classes at the Alabama School of Math and Science. B.F.A., Art History & Ceramics, University of South Alabama, 2006 B.S., Mathematics, University of South Alabama, 2006 M.S., Mathematics, University of South Alabama, 2008 Teaching Artist Statement: My current body of artistic and mathematical work is an investigation into classical Islamic geometric designs, paying particular attention to the mathematical phenomenon of circle packing that arises organically from the underlying compass and straightedge construction of these patterns. Generally, I am interested in the mathematical tools for making art, as well as the inherent beauty in pure mathematics. I teach these mathematical concepts and artistic skills, which include compass & straightedge constructions, mathematical perspective, tiling & tessellations, knot theory, and wallpaper group classification, in a class called “Visual Mathematics.”
