Statement
I enjoy creating artwork with mathematical content which prompts the audience to think deeper, look for relationships and meaning, and ultimately be rewarded by recognizing a hidden structure or pattern. Mathematical artwork should be both beautiful and thought-provoking.

While "Knight Maze I - Relax" is built constructively by building paths on which the knight can hop, "Knight Maze II - Danger" is built destructively by eliminating squares that could be helpful in reaching the goal. Expect this knight's tour to be challenging... and a good deal more dangerous!
