Trigonopoetry
The paintings in the Trigonopoetry (Trigonometric Poetry) series start as pages from old trigonometry textbooks pasted on wood panels. Some words are masked out to create new sentences, and the panel is painted. It’s surprising how many nuggets of wisdom about art, morality and life reside in these old textbooks.
