Statement
A stone sculptor for more than twenty years after a long intro via wood cutting, I first attended Bridges math-art in Pécs introducing my concept of multisculpture, which shows common ground with Nat Friedman's hyperseeing. Emphasizing geometry and rational mechanics content, I could present and manipulate in the Art Exhibition a typical multisculpture. In Coimbra, with another multisculpture and two classic works I illustrated my talk on the phenomenological aspects of traditional manual stone carving using its basic tools, point chisel and mallet as a leap to the technological future. Absent in the Towson exhibit, concentrating my talk on the 3D printing of an enlarged copy in stone-like material of a little marble sculpture shown in Coimbra, I'm back here, having returned to my earlier passion with a piece of Lilac wood; I loved to be able to respect its natural mathematical torsion in a semantic multisculpture. I am also here as prime author of a paper on 3D Triskeles .
