The Pineapples

This series shows the development of a series of mouldings based on a stone original. The geometric precesion required to match the original can be seen in the photographic sequence.

The spirals on a pineapple involve something called the Fibonacci series, a mathematical sequence of numbers which is commonly replicated in nature. To find out more about this facinating concept in simple terms click here or for a more detailed explanation go to Wikipedia. Or you may just choose to admire the beautiful, elegant, complex symettry of the pineapple.
