Sculptor Brent Collins is a self-taught artist and mathematician and has already contributed significant new bodies of work to both these fields of expression. His abstract forms are meticulously worked out in flowing balance and realize solutions to difficult problems in comtemporary mathematics. Brent's extraordinary gifts have led to numerous speaking engagements in forums for both professional artists as well as leading mathematicians from around the globe.
Brent's work was profiled in the "Mathematical Recreations" section of "Scientific American" magazine in February of 2000 and is represented with pride by the Ashland Hardwood Gallery.
