It's quite a story how i got from movement and transformation to this image - one of the many to follow, in the realm of morphogenesis.

Movement- in a fast life >>> movement/transformation in a subject, that can later be translated into a space?? >>> mathematics? a problem always transforms, the solution/expansion of the sum looks totally different from how it started, plus math always freaked me out in school- being subjected to the strictures of the indian educational system, i put all my math-related fears aside and (sadly) studied the subject till the last year of high school- calculus, functions, all the numerical jazz that comes with it- and I did ok, but never understood why I was studying that in the first place- what is maths? when and where will I ever use calculus in my life considering my passion for design? >>> math was my fear all through high school, the lenghthy problems made me cry and now that I've kissed it goodbye, its time to touch it again but by merging it with what I love- art, design and expression- what does that lead me to?? mathart? is there such a thing? what about that dutch mathematician who was an artist? i saw his museum in the Hague and loved it- MC Escher. His optical illusions- showing infinite continuity and a never ending spire of detail inspires me greatly. He was a great mathematical artist. Are there artistic mathematicians too? how far have these two fields been merged already?

  1. MORPHOLOGY, at the moment is not just restricted to architechure it flowes through art and fashion design to!!! I think it is very crucial for us designer to go back to the basic ,to view our own future.

    Great process!!!!
