Transforming mathematics into objects of desire and creating that 'Aha' moment. Found on the walls of homes, schools and colleges around the world.

Simple creation of successive square roots using Dynamic Rectangles...

I despaired of ever making something visually interesting from such a crude idea but then...

Still playing with Fibonacci - though you might struggle to see the connection...

A bit of fun with Fibonacci. Work it out for yourself.

I was possibly the only person on the planet who loved the original version of these nested hexagrams, so...

Fun reimagining of the classic Fibonacci rectangles using high-definition wood-grain.

@Matematickcom The second sentence clarifies the first. If each man has seven children then he cannot have 7 concurrent wives, each having 7 children - in fact he can only have one wife. So 7 couples, each having 7 children = 63 people.

Not a knock-off Mondrian - an arrangement of rectangles related by the Silver Ratio, A:B=B:A+2B.

This deceptively simple design shows the position of 2788 prime numbers in the first 25,281 (159 squared) integers.

A bit of fun with a classic optical illusion. The lines really are parallel and evenly spaced!

A playful new take on one my most popular prints - the first 1000 digits of Pi in colour.

One of the things that fascinates me about regular polygons is the way in which they contain the seeds of their own enlargement and diminution. Extend sides to reveal the vertices of a larger version, connect vertices to create a smaller version.

Yet another German customer for of my prints forced to pay import duties already collected at point of sale under the EU's IOSS scheme.

Germany is deliberately stifling sales from British artisan producers. If you live in the UK don't buy German goods.

This is a crude representation of what has come to be known as The Goffinet Dragon, a fractal based on the Cantor Set.

In 1991 Daniel Goffinet, a French mathematician, showed that using complex numbers could produce surprising results, of which the 'Dragon' is but one.

New on my shop, simple involutes...

A different way of looking at the task of illustrating the basis of the Fibonacci series - a re-arranged pie chart of the first 11 values.

I am in love with this new interpretation of my Fibonacci Rectangles series. Somehow the circles draw out the progression of sizes in the sequence [by dimension not area] more effectively.

@pickover They're not chosen because they're judged to be famous by some algorithm. They're chosen because the photo title contains the word 'famous' prominently, which is what you asked for because Google is text-based. So unless the photo titles change they'll be in the mix for a while.
