Statement

As a sculptor creating digital and physical forms, I strive to take the viewer on a journey of truth-discovery by asking them to engage with various perspectives. Using custom-built technology, I create paths by connecting points in space. The curved and polyline paths that I compose are not arbitrary, rather, they are patterns derived from nature’s archetypes. The human attraction to symmetry extends deep into the unconscious realms of our minds. For 40 years, I have used technology both in my artistic explorations with my late mentor, Koos Verhoeff, and in my business to analyze patterns. I now use technology solely to discover the beauty that hides in the minuscule yet vast world of atomic lattices.

Additional info

Quartangle is a link consisting of four equilateral triangles with a rhombic cross section in the Face-Centered Cubic (FCC) lattice. It was found with the software described in “Looking for Lovely Links in Lattices”, Anton Bakker and Tom Verhoeff, Proceedings of Bridges 2024, pages 349–352 (https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2024/bridges2024-349.html). The Bridges 2025 logo is a stylized projection of Quartangle.
