Dear readers, gazers, critics, searchers...

Welcome to my blog!  My name is Samantha Yang, and these are images of my artwork.  In upcoming posts, you will see a title, an image, pertinent work information (dimensions, media, dates, etc.), and probably some tidbits about each piece regarding process, inspiration, fluff.

I am open to any and all feedback.  Art is a method of communication, and the best art creates a dialog between the viewers and the work.  Please feel free to despise, adore, be bored, be intrigued, be critical, or be all of the above.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy!

Undetermined Coefficients

Oil & charcoal on canvas

This was the first of many ventures into using concrete mathematic imagery in my work.  This piece uses the solving of a first order differential equation as a backdrop.  The concept behind this piece is that numbers are symbols defined by what surrounds them.  I represented this by painting the space between the numbers rather than the numbers themselves.
