This is the exhibition that was on at the same time as the Freud one at the Lightbox in their upper gallery. This one is the one that I wanted to visit as I had seen the exhibition during my work experience, but I wanted to have a further look at it as I loved her work. She studied science and mathematics and made a career out of it but then using her love of science and art and design, combined the two creating intricate beautiful pieces of art using her skills in science and mathematics to create them. Like this one called the ‘Butterfly Effect’ created using origami butterflies she creates the pattern using butterfly feeding habits as an inspiration. I like the way that the placement draws your eye around the piece. It feels almost like an optical illusion to me, which I love.

I also really love this piece where she uses contrasting colours to make this piece pop, it makes for an eye-catching and striking piece. What I liked about this exhibition is that it explained the motives and meanings behind her works for example she grew up in Istanbul, and she draws on these personal experiences in her work. She uses traditional Turkish techniques as well in her tile work, which I found so beautiful and intricate. I was told by one of the volunteers that Seymour often comes to watch her exhibition but unfortunately, on the day that I went, she wasn’t there which was a real shame because I would have loved to talk to her as I find her work so complex and stunning.

Another fact that I loved in her work is that she often used the natural world and finds mathematics in it. She had a little collection of works, of a skull, a heart and a uterus where she used The Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci sequence to show how math can be seen in the human body. I like this work because at first glance it seems quite simple but, in reality, it’s a complex mathematic equation turned into something beautiful.
