Mathematics in the Mind's Eye — Michael Schultheis
Schultheis aspires “to push the boundary of geometry in art,” but clearly Geometric Abstraction as defined could not be further from his intentions. His choice of geometry allows for metaphor, hidden storytelling, and subjectivity.
Toroids — Michael Schultheis
Schultheis’s Toroids try to codify the parameters of sexual attraction and love suggested by Rauschenberg. With his ability to describe real-phenomena through mathematical formulae, Schultheis accurately defines the arc and droop of Rauschenberg’s bifurcated pillow.
