*Applying the Jack Vanarsky, of the Oupeipnpo, constraint ‘Straightening the Seine in its crossing of Paris’ to the Mona Lisa*

*A development of the Jack Vanarsky Oupeinpo* constraint ‘Straightening the Seine in its crossing of Paris’*

In the tradition of the French literary avant garde, Helen Frank playfully explores mathematically creative methodologies by inventing and enacting constraints that function as a structure to produce art work. Based in northern England, she exhibits and works internationally as a member of the Oupeinpo, (the visual art iteration of the OuXpo groups who work in parallel to the Oulipo). Her work has appeared in various international publications, some of which are in the Tate Collection (UK) and the Bibliotheque National (France).
