The (In)disposable Art of Kirkland Smith is a playful exhibition of assemblages created from disposable consumer waste--basically, trash. These 3-dimensional works of art speak to the problem of overconsumption and a need for environmental responsibility in a fresh, evocative style.  Using trash as her medium rather than the subject of her art, Smith hopes to challenge consumer habits and attitudes in a way that's positive and encouraging.

Awaken your imagination and curiosity with Fractals: Mathematics and Science as Art. Fractals consist of mathematical “objects” produced by a computer. These attractively produced 2-dimensional artistic creations provide a mix of horizontal and vertical presentation formats, with two pieces (seemingly identical) meant to hang about an inch apart which gives the illusion of one larger image.

Mesmerizing math? It may sound like a contradiction, but when the math involves fractals (never-ending patterns), you'll be drawn into their intricate beauty. Learn more about these stunning creations with Dr. Manuel "Bud" Sanders, Professor of Mathematics at University of South Carolina Beaufort. Whether man-made, computer-generated, or found in nature, fractals are sure to fascinate.
