Geometric sculpture of Minimal surface bound by Prime Knot 8_19 and a Circle. Presented in acrylic holder 28 cm tall. Traditional (symmetrical form) Prime Knot 8_19, as shown in my second sculpture, also known as 4-leaf Trefoil knot or Torus Knot 3_4 or just Celtic knot has 8 intersections and positioned 19th in the Prime Knot chart. Minimal surface presents natural shape of high surface tension material (soap film for example) as it would take between these two boundaries - Plateau problem.
