Jason Padgett: Struck By Genius
Life changing brain injury transforms an ordinary man, Jason Padgett, into a mathematical wonder.
This afternoon, my son came home from school with his geometry homework, and it brought to mind one of my most favorite artists, Jason Padgett. His work is breathtakingly beautiful and I was inspired to include his amazing story of the unexpected turns in life. We never know what's in store for us around the corner.
Let's take a momment and see the world through the eyes of man "Struck By Genius".
Jason's story:
"No one sees the world as Jason Padgett does. Water pours from the faucet in crystalline patterns, numbers call to mind distinct geometric shapes, and intricate fractal patterns emerge from the movement of tree branches, revealing the intrinsic mathematical designs hidden in the objects around us. Yet Padgett wasn’t born this way. Twelve years ago, he had never made it past pre-algebra. But a violent mugging forever altered the way his brain works, giving him unique gifts."

Fractals are shapes that when decomposed into pieces, the pieces are the same or similar to the whole. The beauty of numbers and their connection to the pure geometry of space time and the universe is shown in these fractal diagrams.
All are HAND DRAWN using only a pencil, ruler and compass.
