Grades: 6-8: Art in Math- Making Art Using Equations Autologlyph

According to Discover magazine many artists use calculations and numerical analyses as a rich source of ideas and methods for their creations.


This is a self-referential bunny — a sculpture of a bunny, the surface of which is tiled by 72 copies of the word "Bunny."
This piece is part of a larger series of "autologlyphs," following on from HS's "Sphere Autologlyph" from the 2010 Bridges art exhibition. An autologlyph is a word written or represented in a way which is described by the word itself. This style of autologlyph combines Escher-style tessellation with typographical ideas related to ambigrams.
