Leading Oxford Professor Endorses Research we have supported, Shedding Light on Hidden Histories.
Marcus du Sautoy, the Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science and Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford, is among the leading minds already giving incredible praise to an upcoming show featuring groundbreaking scholarship that we at Soulton Hall have been proud to support! This revolutionary exhibition is nothing short of thrilling.
His insightful words truly capture the essence of this exhibition:
“‘The new insights into the role that mathematical geometry played in the art and architecture of Anglo Saxon Britain are absolutely fascinating. This feels like an intellectual version of the metal detectorists uncovering a treasure trove of wonders. By tapping into people’s passion for history and archaeology I am really excited by the power of this research to explain the way mathematical shapes have inspired such a range of creativity in this period, one that traditionally has been thought to be a mathematical wasteland. Turns out this is far from the truth. A truly original and exciting bit of research.”
This powerful statement from such a distinguished figure speaks volumes about the impact and originality of this work.
The show is set to challenge conventional wisdom, revealing how deeply mathematical principles influenced Anglo-Saxon art and architecture – a period often overlooked for its mathematical sophistication.
Get ready for a show that promises to be truly eye-opening and will undoubtedly challenge what you thought you knew about history! A huge congratulations to Byrga Geniht on this wonderful endorsement and for bringing such vital research to light.
