Statement

As a stereotypical computer programmer and nerd, few things are more exciting than when my obsessions cross streams. My main obsession is knot tying which, of course, comes with a side of braiding. When the idea to turn braids into knots required math to select appropriate braids and predict the manner of closure; it was only a short hop, skip, and jump to Klein bottles.

Artworks

This Klein bottle was created from a kumihimo braid that was converted into a knot with the help of braid theory and permutation groups.
