Although found everywhere, the Fibonacci sequence often only appears when we are looking for it. Each element of this artwork is added in groups of only numbers that appear in the sequence. 

The spectacles represent “are you looking for me?”

The cassettes are a nod to their predecessor, the “8 track tape” and the notion that the fibonacci sequence is found in music.

The carefully counted beads are growing like nature where the fibonacci sequence is found on a large scale.

The paper and blocked out squares cut out from the Art Gallery of NSW LOOK magazine use the Fibonacci sequence numbers to create a pattern to reflect the early learning of addition and subtraction.

And 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?
