Statistical fantasy
No. 249, 1987
(Mathematical statistics)
India ink and pencil on paper, 38 x 49 cm.
Dice tumble randomly in space, colliding with one another and altering the region around them. Above, in an eerie sky, clouds drip into place, like pudding onto a table. Chaos and randomness again make up the underlying themes. The motif of dice, which have random markings on their respective faces, calls forth thoughts of many problems in mathematical statistics. In fact, one can consider these images to be photographs of a strange, powerful, and fantastic mathematical world- one that exists, regardless of how we perceive it, according to its own special laws.
