The 15th Pentagon di Amanda Allison

Gran Bretagna

Gran Bretagna

My design is based on a type of pentagon, which in mathematics is said to be unique because it is able to tesselate. This means it can ‘tile the plane’ leaving no gaps and no overlaps. Every triangle and four sided shape can do this but regular pentagons cannot, however some non-regular pentagons can. My design is based on the recently discovered 15th type of this non-regular pentagon, which was discovered earlier this year (the previous type was discovered in the 1980s). I wanted to use this shape as I feel mathematics holds an important place in modern art and the design reflects the symmetry and natural beauty the eye is inherently drawn to. I also wanted to combine the mathematical and modern art notion in a symbiotic manner, with the concept of Gaia and Mother Earth. To do this I chose natural colours to emanate out in circles or fields from what i perceive to be the consciousness centre of Earth herself.
