Collaborators Turn Mathematical Ideas Into Art In “Mathemalchemy,” At Duke University

On the third floor of Gross Hall lies a whimsical island where the landscape and creatures are not what they seem. The 20-foot-long, 10-foot-wide piece, a mixed-media art installation dubbed “Mathemalchemy,” is the result of a two-year collaboration between Duke mathematician Ingrid Daubechies, Canadian fiber artist Dominique Ehrmann and more than 20 others; devoted to the beauty, fun and creativity of math.
