Statement

My art work is based on tessellations, deformation of tessellations, infinity images, 3D minimal art objects and optical minimal art. In cooperation with Walt van Ballegooijen we created minimal art objects with hidden images within. I use my own algorithms to derive my art work. For 3D printed objects I use Rhino. I make my art to surprise the spectator.

Just One Sheet

49.0 x 49.0 x 49.0 cm

Welded Corten steel

2025

This artwork is a by-catch that fell into my lap during a search for something else. I studied the structure of the artwork Bamboozle by Koos and Tom Verhoeff in a search for a new object with hidden images. By chance I came across this shape. The artwork is constructed from steel plates of 3mm thick Corten steel. I also saw that this artwork can be folded from a rectangular sheet of paper with a ratio between the sides of $3\sqrt{2}$ and $4+2\sqrt{12}$.
