dead temple visions artifact lattice shirt
the official garment to accompany any Dead Temple Visions artifact

dead temple visions sculpture artifacts
a sculpture with several iterations, made for the Dead Temple Visions sound film
-
negative single twist component (deconstructed print)
a site-specific, multilayered print based off of other artwork

triangle tile-based surface-tiling curve listing band (И 3)
scaled listing band with surface-tiling curve segments
-
triangle-based surface-tiling curve segment intersection
splined variation of an octahedron’s surface-tiling curve

encompassed surface-tiling curve segment
surface-tiling curve segment resembling a certain piece of local architecture
-
surface-tiling curve deltahedron set (И 3)
folded, regular deltahedra tiled with the same curve segment
-
negative single twist components
A helix and a hexahedron are both composed from a single component, a negative single twist knot.
-
perspective hex
Eight knotted hexagons cover the surface of a cube in a pattern which is identical on each face of the solid.
-
branching unknot
Two unknots are arranged vertically above a charred wood base. The shape of the metal makes self-supporting convex and concave arrangements possible.
-
woven tile hexahedron
Copies of a single metal tile are woven together to form a cube with a concave vertex.
-
metatronic solid face (hexahedron)
A single shape shows four negative paths curving around the center where they would otherwise intersect.
-
penta angle swirl
A unicursal decagonal star intersects five chained quadrilaterals. The chain gives the impression of a five-pointed star.
-
isometric hex knot
Outlined knot segments are inlaid with copper wire. Each segment follows a path which eventually returns to its origin.

artist statement
Motivation / Goals Identifying a challenge For me, making a new artwork begins with a question I don’t immediately know the answer to. It ends with the artwork as the proof that the answer I came up with is true. The middle part, figuring it out, is often more time consuming than shaping the actual…
-
exploded tetrahedron divided by surface-tiling curve И 1
a surface-tiling curve slices a tetrahedron into two identical folded shapes
-
layered multi polygon knot
A group of three similar polygons rotate to form a knot. Multiple glass layers show colors, the knot itself, and a faint outline.
-
metatronic solid (hexahedron)
Four lines make a reversed knot pattern covering all faces of a hexahedron, regardless of rotation (this same pattern can tile a plane).
-
tri angle polygonal knot
A parallelogram and a triangular line rotate to create an overall triangular shape.
-
knot tiling triangle-faced polyhedra
A single shape tiles the faces of all three equilateral triangle-faced regular polyhedra with knots.
-
exploded hexahedron tiled with a plane-filling curve
A single line bisects a hollow cube into two mirrored sections.
-
tile hexahedron
A shape with interlocking edges tiles a plane. The edges of these planes bend to form a hexahedron.
-
unicursal spiral tercet
Intersecting spirals become one line. The line can be traced from any point back to its origin.
-
reversed metatronic solid (hexahedron)
how to create a piece of art that you can see from all angles?
-
metatronic solid (tetrahedron)
Three lines make a reversed knot pattern covering all faces of a tetrahedron, regardless of rotation (this same pattern can tile a plane).
-
self-intersecting tercet knots with encompassment
Three triangular twists are abound together by an encompassing shape echoing the group’s perimeter. The way the paper is cut and overlapped gives the illusion that each of the four main components are made of single pieces of paper. You have to cheat a little to give the illusion of self-intersecting lines made out of a…
-
encompassed unicursal tercet knot
A hexagonal ring bound to another triply-twisted ring is suspended vertically.
-
projected isometric tercet knot
This is a double-lined, triple-component knot based on an isometric grid. The rules of knot making are slightly bent with the double line, but half the fun of making your own system is breaking its rules. It is “projected” is because its construction uses small wooden dowels to lift the individual pieces above the surface.…
-
unicursal pentad knot
Follow the (implied) line with your eye. The line is unicursal, meaning there’s only one line. At first you might be tempted to assume there are five sections, and of course there are, but the radial symmetry is just a property of this particular line. These are probably the most difficult knots to design because…
-
tercet knot progression with self-similar encompassment
knots entangled with smaller versions of themselves

current definition of art
components of an artwork A work of art has been fully realized when an artist actively participates in the actions of creating, shaping, and framing. When only one or two actions have been done, this only means that the artwork is not as fully realized as it could be. creating Since ideas can exist independently of…

time-based HSB color values
My interest in time-based color values came from reading about the concept of chromo°. Picking a point from the HSB color model proved more complicated than I originally thought. Ben Bryant helped me do the hard math parts to figure this one out, so special thanks to him. See the Pen time-based HSB by adam…

my name
Below are real life implementations of a logotype of my first name. The first version of this was created when I was in middle school, c.1990. After taking art more seriously, or at least doing more art, I have been in search of a symbol or mark which represents me. I returned to a version…

roman alphabet observation
I wanted to call this my roman type theory, but it’s just more of an observation of an interesting pattern. Maybe after you read this, you’ll look at the alphabet differently, especially if you’re looking at the alphabet with something obstructing your view of most of it…. What I mean here by the roman alphabet…
