Parametric Wood Wall Art

Where Algorithms Become Sculpture | 2022-2025

Three years ago, I discovered that mathematical equations carved into wood reveal patterns invisible on screens. Each parametric wood wall art piece represents months of computational exploration—finding the moment where algorithmic chaos crystallizes into tangible harmony.

Digital Equations, Physical Form

This parametric wall art series explores a simple question: what happens when you translate pure mathematics into material? Using CNC precision, I carve algorithmic patterns into walnut, cherry, and maple—logarithmic spirals, hyperbolic tessellations, fractal recursions. The math is calculated to thousandths of an inch, but wood grain adds its own organic story.

Computational Craft

Each parametric wood wall art piece begins with algorithm design—tweaking equations until they generate patterns worth preserving. The CNC carving runs 20+ hours, following toolpaths so complex they'd require a human lifetime by hand. Then comes hand-finishing: sanding, staining, sometimes gold leaf to emphasize mathematical relationships. This is where technical precision becomes contemplative art.

Mathematical Validation

Works from this series have been selected for the Bridges Mathematical Art Gallery and exhibited at Joint Mathematics Meetings. These aren't decorative patterns—they're mathematical proofs you can touch.

Singular Explorations

Each parametric wood wall art piece is unrepeatable. Once an algorithm generates a pattern and it's carved, that particular translation ends. Even running the same code again would produce different grain patterns, different light interaction, a fundamentally different object. These works shift throughout the day—morning light reveals curves evening shadows hide.
