I was thrilled to receive an award from the American Mathematical Society in the 2021 Mathematical Art Exhibition juried by Bridges Organization for Laura’s Flowerpot a low-relief paper sculpture that lifts and skews Penrose’s rhombs into a crystalline surface. Laura’s Flowerpot is one a a series made in collaboration with computer scientist Duane Bailey. These sculptures are precise mathematical projections of a five-dimensional cubic matrix. They are topologically identical with different color palettes that explore the underlying mathematics…
