[FRIAM] Secrets of the Surface: 2020 documentary on Maryam Mirzakhani

[George Duncan]

Thanks, Jon, for the link to the documentary about Maryam Mirzakhani. She
is one of the nine women mathematicians featured in my art series, A Room
of Her Own. She appears in the lower right corner of the attached image.
Each piece is 12"x12".

My art theme: Dynamic exposition of the tension between matrix order and
luminous chaos.

"Attempt what is not certain. Certainty may or may not come later. It may
then be a valuable delusion."
>From "Notes to myself on beginning a painting" by Richard Diebenkorn.

"It's that knife-edge of uncertainty where we come alive to our truest
power." Joanna Macy.
