How does a sculptor end up working with a team of mathematicians studying something called Aperiodic Tiling? Can Art/Science collaborations produce effective research as well as new artworks? From research into the impact of the Human Genome Project, to the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron facility in Hamburg, to a mathematical research team at University of Leeds, the British artist Dominic Hopkinson examines the influence of science and mathematics on his own creative process.

 Dominic Hopkinson is UK based sculptor who works with research scientists and mathematicians, studying the mathematics of forms. As a sculptor it would seem fundamental to try to understand exactly why anything is the shape it is. What are the processes that define shape and form in nature, across scales? Hopkinson has spent a number of years as Artist in Residence at the School of Mathematics at University of Leeds, and has presented his work to the Royal Society, London, the German Mathematical Society, the DMV-Vereinigung, the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences in Edinburgh and numerous conferences.
