Office Art...by the incredible Sienna Morris!

Touch, Petrichor, Butterfly Effect, Bioluminescence, Addy

A couple of years ago my family took a trip to the Puyallup Fair.  Besides the rides, the food, and the ample opportunity to take pictures of amazing flowers, we came across this little booth in one of the buildings.  I was in love at first sight!  Sienna Morris, a Numberism Artist (www.fleeting states.com), creates these beautiful drawings from numbers, formulas, and equations.

Well, I just had to bring home one...in fact, I had to bring home two (Butterfly Effect & Addy)...and so began my collection (or obsession) with Numberism Art!

Below are the paintings that I have in my office, a little bit of information about each, and where they can be purchased  (should you love them as much as I do - she also has an Etsy site).

From Left to Right:

Touch

Touch is drawn with the chemical formula for Oxytocin, which is a chemical released in the brain during moments of romance, childbirth and breast feeding most notably. It is associate with feelings of pleasure, generosity, empathy and trust (It is also the chemical released in the brain when you receive a massage...quite fitting!  Oh, and I love how it looks as though the wind is blowing her hair from the window).

Petrichor

Petrichor is drawn entirely with formulas, using the molecular formula for Geosim and Water. Geosim is partially responsible for that summer rain smell, released from the earth during a new rain.

Butterfly Effect

Butterfly Effect is drawn entirely with the numbers of the clock, 1 -12, to represent time passing. This piece is meant to remind us to live in the present, knowing that even the best moments pass.

---

Bioluminescence

The Fireflies are drawn with a chemical formula for Luciferin which makes them glow, the emitted and bounced light is the speed of light in metric and the girl is drawn with the numbers of the clock, 1 -12 to remind us to appreciate the present, knowing that even the best moments pass.

Addy

Addy is drawn entirely with the numbers of the clock, 1 -12, to represent time passing. This piece is meant to remind us to live in the present, knowing that even the best moments pass.

Thank you, Mrs. Morris, for your beautiful work!  I can't wait to add more to my collection!

Take care,
Crystal
