Jenny Dingwall: River Bathers

About the artist:

Jenny Dingwall is an artist by night and a mathematician by day, currently studying for her PhD in Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge. Her imagination is fired by pattern, symmetry, perspective, and proportion – all mathematical principles that work to create a harmonious piece of art.  These principles inspire Dingwall to explore the way sunlight and shadow play on structures such as historic buildings, but also to capture the more fleeting shapes found in Nature such as reflections in water. She enjoys using a black and white medium: by removing colour, she focuses on compositions emphasising the balance of light and dark, shapes and textures. Dingwall is a self-taught printmaker and describes it as meditative and reflective process.
