Statement

I work in quantitative finance but I find beauty in the sublime symmetries of geometry. My artwork is primarily in the media of wood and plastic with the former carved using a desktop CNC and the latter created through the process of 3D printing. I am always in search for novel shapes to which I can apply my own personal interpretation. Sharing my art with a broader audience helps them to become more interested in the aesthetic qualities of mathematics.

Artworks

This is a pair of 3-armed rhombic spirallohedra, a class of polyhedron first discovered by Russell Towle in 2000. Comprised entirely of rhombic faces, this beautiful polar zonohedron has the unique property that it is space-filling. My version is composed of cherry, ash and walnut on a 3D printed scaffold to ensure that the dihedral angles are precise.
