Abstract

A simply, stated though still unproved, mathematical conjecture by Christian Goldbach is utilized to make two-dimensional artworks. Tile patterns with even numbers of tiles are divided into two sets. Each set consists of a prime number of tiles that reflects Goldbach's conjecture that any even number greater than two has at least one pair of primes that sum to that number.
