Craft meets Math in: Question, Answer and the Chaos in Between

Mark Jaroszewicz presents a solo exhibition of math-concept craft work

September 15 - October 16, 2011

Public Opening Reception, Thursday, September 15, 6:00 - 9:00 pm

Ontario Crafts Council Gallery

990 Queen St. W., Toronto

The Ontario Crafts Council is pleased to present work by artist Mark Jaroszewicz (yur-a-shev-itch) in a solo exhibition showcasing a math-inspired series called Metamorphic Numerals.  The exhibition, titled “Question, Answer and the Chaos in Between,” takes place from September 15-October 16, 2011 and will also have activities during Culture Days on the weekend of October 1-2, 2011.

The arts and sciences come together in an educational, hands-on exhibition, where visitors are encouraged to participate with the displayed works.

Metamorphic Numerals is a multi-sensory approach to understanding math. Counting with our fingers is an ancient method that people around the globe can relate to, and Metamorphic Numerals revisits this past by using measured clay spheres to form three-dimensional, pinched numeral symbols that are calibrated to the gram. Essentially, each numerical form represents a number through shape and weight, and can be used to represent equations with the use of colour, texture and movement.  The exhibition presents examples of how addition, subtraction, multiplication and division can be represented in a 3D format.
