This triptych shows fractions of pies over fractions of pi. Or rather, fractions of 2*pi.
The first piece is called "Pie for Three" and it shows 4*pi/3 written out in decimal form to about 35 digits in the background. The pie is missing one third.
The second piece, "Pie," has 2*pi in approximate decimal form and shows a full pie.
The third piece, "Pie for 8," has pi/4 in approximate decimal form and shows an eighth of a pie.
Though it doesn't photograph well, each pie has a thick coating of dripped Galkyd over the red part, making it look like pie filling.

Very cool piece! I just had a couple pieces today of pumpkin pie that my grandma made. Now I'm hungry just looking at this piece. I'm such a fat ass.. :)
