I studied graphic-design and mathematics, so I'm always happy, to combine these two disciplines.
This is my attempt to translate the classical Spirograph into the
third dimension.
Like in the classical setup, we have a point on a disc running
along a curve, but in this setup we use a closed space-curve
instead of a circle. The curve has a Normal-field, that gives us
the orientation for the disc.
In principle this should work for any closed space-curve, but to
capture the feeling of the classical Spirograph, I have restricted
myself to closed space-curves on the sphere, with a normal-field
pointing outwards.
This is a 3D Version of Eschers tessellation pictures, using different layers to achieve a volumetric figure. It is a further development to last years figures, since the figures fit together forwards and backwards.
