I'm doing some artistic thinking because I've got to fill a bunch of picture frames in the department in a hurry.
Ignoring the colours, which of these do you like the most?

... and here are some more.

Art* is going on walls!
On the right is one of the Truchet pieces I shared above, and the other is made up of handwriting samples I gathered from colleagues. It feels good to finally put something out with this!

Here's a closeup of the handwriting one. I wandered round @NCLMathsStats knocking on doors, asking people to write some mathematical notation. It was fascinating seeing the different symbols and conventions used in different disciplines.
What can you spot in this snippet?

To make this, I took photos of all the handwriting samples, then used inkscape to convert them to vector images. I separated out individual characters, then wrote code to lay out characters along line segments making up a hexagonal tiling.

My idea was to have something that gives you an idea of notation used by mathematicians, but better than the 'cumulonumbers' nonsense you normally get.
There's just enough coherence to identify subdisciplines, but I didn't worry about keeping whole formulas intact

I wanted it to have a dark background so it would look like writing on a blackboard, but I was told I can't print a 99% black page at A0

Eventually, I want to put the original handwriting samples on the school website, along with links to the authors' homepages and short explanations of what they're about.
I learnt a lot about what my colleagues do just by asking them to write a line or two of maths!

Everyone loves talking about the subject they're interested in, and maths is a truly enormous subject!

Another one. Here, flocks of arrowheads are tracing out the Herschel graph.
The Herschel graph is something I keep returning to, because our building is named after its inventor.

It's the smallest non-Hamiltonian polyhedral graph - you can't draw a path on it which visits each vertex exactly once, and it corresponds to a polyhedron.
There's no such thing as a "lap" of this graph which doesn't cross itself somewhere.

There's an easy proof of this: you can colour the vertices red and blue so that no vertices joined by an edge are the same colour, and there are an odd number of vertices.
So any lap visiting each vertex once has to end on a different colour to the start.

How do you convey non-hamiltonianicity? I've got flocks of boids endlessly trying to trace out the graph. They're chasing (invisible) rabbits which are randomly walking the graph.
