KAANP March 2021
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.

knot theories
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, […]

self-intersecting tercet knots with encompassment
You have to cheat a little to give the illusion of self-intersecting lines made out of a single piece of paper….

Ideal viewing conditions for this piece: strong sunlight with a nearby shadow to reflect in.

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 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 you […]
