What does art mean to me?
There can be a lot of beauty in mathematics. When working on this project, I was interested in wallpaper groups. In short, a wallpaper group is a two-dimensional symmetric pattern and there happen to be 17 of them. Wallpaper groups are what some of M.C. Escher’s works were based on. I have always loved Escher’s work and to see that there was a direct connection between math and art confirmed that there could be beauty in mathematics just like there is beauty in art.
I do like my art to say things or mean something to me, so I hope to put my fingerprint on the art that I create. I hope that someone can look at my creations as art that has loose ties back to mathematics and I hope to change people’s perspectives about art and maybe even mathematics as a whole.

This series is a reflection upon my childhood. I have interviewed some of my family members and friends to see what some of their favorite memories of me were or what some of their perceptions of me were. These prints create a snapshot of a memory, a collage of images, or a way that I or someone else perceived an idea when we were little.
