Statement

We enjoy creative activities on the boundary between Mathematics and Art. Sometimes we create artwork by using geometric tube design. The truncated icosahedron is one of the Archimedean solids, generalizations of Plato's regular solids. The soccer ball "Telstar" and the nano technology molecule model "Fullerene" are instantiations of it.
