So for this show, we wanted to do something around that started with the tree of knowledge. Uh-huh. This is very cool. We found a tree stump that was gigantic, almost as big as this room. It's 7,000 pounds.

It's a eucalyptus, but it was uprooted and sort of fell over. And then one side is sanded down. And so when you walk into the gallery, you see the back end of it. So it's all this knotted, gnarly roots. And then around the other side, we inscribed it with questions trying to talk about the history of knowledge and how it evolved.

from what is fire and can I eat this, which is thousands of years ago, the kind of questions he asked. But those evolved into, will machines be intelligent? Yeah. And on the far end. So it has 600 questions or something on there.

It's another piece, actually, that we call abstract expression, which is a redwood. Yes, it starts with Pythagoras. But remember, it's not literal because that tree wasn't 5,000 years old. We take some liberties. Okay, okay. How old was that tree? I think like 400 years old. Maybe 500. But that's the idea. It's like we're kind of playing off of that known concept.

But this time we wanted to tell the history of science and do it through just equations. And we never say Pythagoras on there. It just says the equation. But those equations are kind of beautiful in their own right. And they're kind of artistic because in a way art takes an image and there's a lot of content and meaning behind it. And that's true with the scientific equations.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

I tried all these methods and it was basically extremely difficult to try and prove that it would work for all these geometries. I was living at the end of this alley and it was down some stairs and so I was sitting on my porch all the time just like working on this. I have this moment where this pops into my head to use this step function and it looks like stairs.
