Statement
I am a physicist with long-standing interests in and contributions to astronomy, art and archaeology. I have also had a life long love of scientific wonders and curiosities. The DeltaCelt combines all of these threads in the design of a unique, new work of kinetic sculptural art. During the past five years I have designed a number of new dynamical objects based on each of the major mathematical constants: e, i, pi and phi. I have also designed a new version of the uphill roller demonstration. Much of the development of these objects has been enabled by my access to rapid prototyping and CNC machining capabilities. Design of the DeltaCelt was motivated by my desire to celebrate the dynamical work of my good friend Mitchell J. Feigenbaum.
