SUBLIME EXHIBITION PUTS DE MORGAN’S MATHS UNDER THE MICROSCOPE
It’s all part of William’s equation
THERE is much to please the eye at Sublime
Symmetry, an exhibition of work by
celebrated arts and crafts ceramicist William
De Morgan opening at Guildhall next month.
Perfectly matched patterns snake across
tiles, fantastical beasts bear down on lustrous
pots and vases, but one of the most interesting
pieces featured in the exhibition, according to
its curator, is actually somebody’s maths
homework.
Imagine
The sheet of paper, torn from a notebook,
is covered in complex equations done by
a student of the potter’s father, famed
mathematician Augustus De Morgan.
But flip it over and you’ll find a child’s
colourful sketches, undersigned ‘Willie,
aged 6’. “It’s quite sweet really, you
can imagine the De Morgans sitting around
the dinner table, the kids all squabbling and
Augustus throwing them a scrap of paper
and saying ‘will you just shut up and do
some colouring in’,” curator Sarah Hardy
says.
It’s a throwaway item that was most likely
retained simply for familial sentiment, but to
Sarah, no item paints a clearer picture of the
role mathematics played in De Morgan’s life,
and in turn, his work.
Sublime Symmetry explores the potter’s
relationship with mathematics through
his father at a young age, and the role
these principles played in the
development of his trademark
patterns, symmetry, and contours
of shapes.
Sarah came up with the
concept of the exhibition after schoolchildren
in an education programme at the De Morgan
Foundation picked up on symmetrical patterns
and designs in the work they were studying.
“On first appearance they’re these
wonderful, fantastical designs,
but if you look at them
closely they are actually
very detailed geometric
patterns,” she says.
“It’s clear
[William] had a
wonderful aptitude
for maths, even
though he’d gone
off and chosen to be
an artist.”
She teamed up
with the London
Mathematical
Society
to explore
De Morgan’s
upbringing and how
it impacted his designs,
amassing more than 80 pieces,
including loans from the Victoria &
Albert Museum and University of
London’s Senate House.
Highlights include the Two Handled
Vase with Persian Floral Decoration, the
symmetrically ordered Fan Tile Panel
and – Sarah’s personal favourite – a Vase
with Swimming Fish Under a
Net.
“He’s drawn the net on to the vase
using wax, then put the lustre glaze over that
wax and let the wax melt off in the heat of the
kiln,” she explains. “You’re left with a white
net and these fish swimming beneath it, it’s
beautiful.”
The exhibition has been touring the UK
for the last 18 months, but its arrival
in the Capital has been cause to dig
deeper into life in the De Morgan’s
progressive household.
“We took the opportunity
to team up with UCL, which
holds the De Morgan archive,
and look really closely at the
whole family.
Educational
“There are a lot of things
that have never been on
display before.”
And De Morgan’s work will
continue to serve as a teaching
tool at the foundation for a
series of educational programmes
for schoolchildren at Key Stage 2,
developed with funding from the City
of London Corporation’s Inspiring London
Through Culture grants programme.
“This was particularly important to us
– mathematics in an art gallery is quite an
exciting way to teach it,” Sarah says.
“Hopefully it will inspire children who aren’t
really enthusiastic about mathematics to see a
different side to it.”
Sublime Symmetry is on at Guildhall Art
Gallery from 11 May to 28 October

Wellness Matters
SWITCH UP YOUR SKINCARE REGIMEN FOR NEW SEASON
WARMER weather has us spring cleaning our
homes and wardrobes, but one thing that often
gets overlooked is skincare.
Skin takes a beating during those long months
of cold, dry, windy weather with the central
heating cranked up to Caribbean temperatures,
so adapting our routine to seasonal changes is
important to deal with shifts in climate, sun levels
and exposure to external aggressors.
Primas Medispa is a beauty spa and dermatology
clinic in Ludgate Square offering the full spectrum
of skincare and beauty, plus medical, surgical and
cosmetic treatments under one roof. We spoke
to dermatologist Dr Sajjad Rajpar about how to
put your best face
forward: brighter days
mean better skin
spring clean your skincare routine with the help of
hardworking treatments designed to help you put
your best face forward.
Go under the microscope
If your skin reacts badly to a change of seasons,
identifying the source will put you on the fast
track to recovery and help prevent it happening
again.
“We get a lot of patients who experience an
acne flare-up because they’re still using a winter
moisturiser and their skin can’t cope with the
increased grease production,” Dr Rajpar says.
“Others find that sun exposure causes increased
pigmentation in warmer weather.” Primas uses
Visia Skin Analysis UV light technology to scan
and evaluate six key areas that affect complexion
appearance and health. The results help identify
the exact cause of conditions.
Get a full skin check
It can be easy to ignore moles and skin tags
when they’re hidden under layers of clothing, but
increased sun exposure should serve as a reminder
to get checked for skin cancer or melanoma.
Dr Rajpar uses a Dermoscope to check the
pigment below the skin surface and identify any
abnormal moles or other lesions.
Scrub up well with a peel
Snow, sludge, and rain can cause build-up of dead
skin cells, leftover product, and environmental
toxins, so start the season right with a facial peel
designed to renew cells and improve collagen.
For those with more severe hyperpigmentation,
a chemical peel will shed the top layers of the skin
Spring clean your skin
to stimulate new cell growth, while Tixel, a more
advanced treatment, uses natural heat to flush out
old damage and even out skin tone.
Leave clogged pores to professionals
Warmer temperatures can leave pores clogged
with makeup, sweat, grease and dead skin cells, so
try a cleansing facial to clear congestion, balance
ph levels and start anew. Keep that fresh feeling
after you leave the salon by trading heavy products
like moisturisers and foundations for lighter
versions during the warmer months.
