One to One Hundred
Digital Print 2023A composite of the numbers one through one hundred, each as a geometric arrangements of identical simple visual elements.
Background and Inspiration
This is part of an ongoing series of artworks expressing the positive integers as a geometric arrangement of identical simple visual elements that invite the viewer to contemplate the concept of number. This unary representation is naturally bijective and harkens back to the ancient counting technique that uses a one-to-one correspondence between a set of objects of interest (such as sheep or goats) and a set of counters (such as pebbles or tally marks). The artworks in this series can be used in teaching counting and in associating visual patterns with mathematical patterns.
