I studied graphic-design and mathematics, so I'm always happy, to combine these two disciplines. To develop these 3D-Tessellations felt more like solving a mathematical problem, than creating art. But one is always able to squeeze the problem a little bit, so that the final solution looks much more beautifull.

“KUHKUBUS – layered version” was developed as an early stage for the final "KUHKUBUS" , shown in the Nominee's gallery, but is a mathematical model in it's own rights. Since it is flat on the sides it is also a 3D-Tessellation, but the bull figures also fit sideways, to develop more complex shapes.
