Textual Supplement to 'On the Infinite Boundaries of Art and Language'
'On the Infinite Boundaries of Art and Language' takes the form of a mathematical proof that acts as a bridge between art, mathematics and language. Composed of text and mathematical symbols, my work shows that there is understanding and insight to be gained in the translation of mathematics to artistic ideas. The old idea of lost in translation does not always apply since much can be gained in the act of translation. The proof offers an explanation to a common assumption that many artists take for granted that Art is an infinite language and cannot be defined. In particular, I focus on the relationship between the abstract mathematics of number theory and infinite sets because these theories bear a strong relationship with artwork in its intangibility. Just as artwork cannot exist without imagination, infinity likewise cannot exist without an imaginative leap of faith.
