This artwork focuses mainly on the Fibonacci sequence numbers themselves.

The spectacles represent “are you looking for me?”. As, although the Fibonacci sequence is found in a lot of places, sometimes it’s only there because we’re looking for it.

The tapes represent how the Fibonacci Sequence can be found in music, and it’s a nod to the cassette’s predecessor the “8 track tape”.

The paper squares cut out from the Art Gallery of NSW LOOK magazine use the Fibonacci sequence numbers to create a pattern and represents how children learn addition at school by using counters, which is exactly what I did in order to work out the numbers I was placing on the canvas. The blocked out squares represent the same learning style for subtraction.

The refurbished “side of the road bargain” frame has been patiently waiting in my studio for years to be turned into art.

In this artwork you will find only Fibonacci numbers:

• 1 smile
• 89 straight beads (55,21,31)
• 5 oval beads
• 34 round beads
• 1 leaf
• 2 bed knobs with 5 sections each (F,S beads inside)
• 3 black cassette tapes
• 21 black glittery cassette tapes
• 1 pair of specs / 1 lense
• Cut outs – 1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34, 55 (142 total)
• Blocked out cutouts in Fibonacci sequence numbers only leaving Fibonacci sequence numbers showing.
• 13 LED lights on the 55 bead vine
• 5 LED lights on the 13 bead vine
• 5 LED lights on the 21 bead vine
• Between 1-3 lights on each cassette tape

Feel free to count the glitter specs to see if you can find Fibonacci numbers in those too 😉

And for those playing at home, 1 of the above list is incorrect, there is 1 extra…can you find it?
