Statement

I design for 3D printing in steel and laser etching in glass. In metal, I'm a sculptor using hand and algorithmic techniques, most recently in collaboration with a large generative engine which I'm writing in Rhinoceros/Grasshopper/Python. In glass, I work as a scientific illustrator rendering observed and modeled 3D data, both on commission and as a lifelong fan of all science.

Artworks

A mathematically generated 3D print, rendered in sintered steel/bronze composite metal by Ex One.

A hand designed 3D printed puzzle, rendered in sintered steel/bronze composite metal by Ex One and embellished with fused glass and magnetic closures.

A Calabi-Yau manifold, projected into 3-space by Dr. Andrew J. Hanson of Indiana University.

A projection into 3-space of the Gosset 421 polytope, which is itself a representation of the exceptional Lie group E8. This representation was selected and computed by Garrett Lisi.
