Axisophy

Museum-quality art prints at the intersection of science, mathematics, and design.

RoleFounder, Creative Director
Dates2013-present (as Atomic Printworks until 2024)

Axisophy transforms complex data - from prime number distributions to phylogenetic trees, dynamical systems to planetary imagery - into visually striking prints that reward both close examination and distant appreciation.

The studio produces original mathematical visualisations developed through custom computational tools. Products range from accessible open-edition prints to large-scale limited editions on specialist papers, positioning the brand between commercial print retail and gallery-represented fine art.
