SCULPTURE
Editor’s note: In his sculpture class, Arch Latham (‘18) fuses math with art.
As a mathematics and science student at Packer who is involved in the three year intensive Science Research Program, Arch Latham’s step into the art world was new territory for him. When Arch heard about Mr. Baylin’s sculpture class available to juniors and seniors in the fall, he was excited to combine his knack for mathematical thinking with his interest in art. After visiting the exhibit in the Shen Gallery, where mathematicians were displaying their sculptures, Arch was inspired to make one of his own.
“We had to make a sculpture out of one item, but a lot of them stacked together. I chose zip ties, so I got the zip ties, put two of them together and kind of stacked them up like a little volcano and it turned out pretty cool.”
