  • perspective hex

    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

    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.

  • multi-dimensional hex knots

    multi-dimensional hex knots

    Two sets of interlocked hexagonal rings traverse three color fields.

  • unicursal polygonal tercet

    unicursal polygonal tercet

    Stippled paint creates a unicursal knot design. The aggregation of dots suggests straight lines not present in the artwork. This single component is connected end to end with two rotated copies to create the knot. Doubling the individual segments of the knot design does not disrupt the over / under pattern that knot diagrams have.

  • tri unknot

    tri unknot

    A line broken by an inner negative space rotates to form an unknot, a continuous line with no overlapping. The component used as the basis for this piece, as well as the resulting structure, can be unraveled to form a loop. Tri Unknot was on display at the McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) in 2023.

  • layered multi polygon knot

    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.

  • knot tiling triangle-faced polyhedra

    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

    tile hexahedron

    A shape with interlocking edges tiles a plane. The edges of these planes bend to form a hexahedron.

  • scale tile listing band

    scale tile listing band

    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.
