Gwen L. Fisher, Ph.D., has used artwork as a means to present complex
mathematical ideas in visual forms. She is keenly interested in the intersection of
mathematics and visual art, especially in fiber arts including quilting, beadwork,
and knitting. She uses mathematics, including geometry, symmetry, and
topology, as an inspiration for the structure of her creations.
Gwen has been a contributor and editor for several math and art journals and
magazines. She also designs patterns, so that other people may enjoy
reproducing her bead weaving designs. These patterns are intended to be
beautiful objects in their own right. The culmination of her patterns as an art
form comes when another bead weaver creates a piece of bead work from her
patterns. In this way, the viewer of her artwork is not merely passive, but
becomes an active participant in its creation.
