Sculpture: Here’s Looking at Euclid

“Here’s Looking at Euclid”  by Helen Friel, 2012
Paper sculptures of mathematician Oliver Byrne’s illustrations of Euclid’s Elements.

Amazing sculptural rendition of one of the most beautiful books of all time, Euclid’s Elements by eccentric Victorian mathematician Oliver Byrne, "In which coloured diagrams and symbols are used instead of letters for the greater ease of learners."  A glorious intersection of art and science!  Read an interview with the artist at Rock Paper Ink.
