An LKL Maths-Art seminar by Nick Sayers

Estate agents' signs dominate the urban landscape. Artist Nick Sayers has
discovered an alternative use for them: as building materials for geodesic
shelters and playhouses!

In this talk he will reveal the inspiration for this project, the maths
behind the making, and how it relates to his other geometric sculptures.
Uniting art and mathematics, the domes he has created are an exploration
of sustainable building methods, and make a statement abut homelessness,
the housing market and recycling.

- Spheres (selected)

BIOGRAPHY: Nick Sayers is an artist and graphic designer. For his
ongoing Spheres project, he has created a series of spherical
sculptures, shelters and lighting from a wide variety of recycled,
reused and repurposed materials. Working with everything from measuring
tapes and playing cards to car tyres and bicycle wheels, he has
developed new construction methods and revisited traditional craft
techniques.

FUTURE SEMINARS: May 12, Daniel White; June 9, special origami/maths-art
