A cube or rectangular solid of any size can be created from any multiple of this component. This one uses 24 components and makes a cube. It’s always a little hard to tell what you’re looking at with sculptures, so this video shows multiple angles:
Twenty-three identical scales are tied together in a continuous loop representing a non-orientable surface. A pattern of accented hexagons covers interlocking segments which twist and bend in an infinite knot. This band is smaller than others I have done so far, so it is self-supporting and can be displayed resting on a surface or suspended …
The design is an experiment in using spirals in combination with radial symmetry to produce a unicursal knot. Usually I base knot designs like this off of circles and polygons, so this was a new challenge. I originally used this design for some cut paper stationery, shown here. Wanting to take things up a notch, …
Here I am on a podcast talking about art and music. It’s proof that I can ramble on for at least an hour. Thanks to Thomas Zachary for asking me to do this. The artwork I’m talking the most about can be seen on the Knot Theories page.

an exploration of partial-dimensional geometries This work was on display during March, 2021 at The Emporium Gallery in downtown Knoxville. Here is a brief explanation of the show: Knots are continuous lines twisted in such a way to give the illusion of lines overlapping in the same plane. Using a formalized system of knot creation, …
