Work and artistic position
In her works, the artist is concerned with the network of relationships between numbers and symbols. Your topic is the internationally valid mathematical symbols. Its introduction five hundred years ago was an effective relief for mathematics: Johannes Widmann introduced the minus and plus signs to mathematics in 1489, Robert Recorde first used the equal sign in 1557, and William Oughtred used the horizontal cross as a multiplication symbol in 1628 first time.
With her concept of implementing knowledge, she belongs to the art of securing evidence : In a project from 1993 to 2000, like an ethnologist and archaeologist , she searched worldwide for depictions of the female death goddesses. So Kali in Hinduism a goddess of death and destruction. The artist documented the finds in the book Black Goddesses .
