Rhino Sketches
Standing under Penrose sculpture. Fish hat!
Getting ready to hang sculptures, thank you Anne-Marie and Kina for helping me prepare the cloth backdrop!
It fits!! Threaded finished brass ornament for brass weight.
Second polished brass piece
Threads cut into brass rod so it can screw into plumb bob weights! Here the lathe isn’t running, but used for alignment. The tailstock holds the die for cutting threads, the chuck is spun manually. Thanks to Kina who taught me this excellent trick!
Sanding and finishing the brass with polishing compound. I absolutely love this process
More lathe tests for Collapsing Cube
Cleaning the brass chains with lemon juice and salt… It worked surprisingly well and smelled pretty nice afterwards.
Two Dods, wood and brass
Cube hanging with weight in test Dod

Gary Faro, mathematician and artist. Introduced to me by an incoming student at the ITP welcome party, I paid him a visit at his Brooklyn home. Gary generously sat with me for hours and explained his own math formulas and shared his insights into geometry and art. Here he is holding one of my Penrose decagons!
The negative spaces from the Honeycomb Triangle pieces! I was thrilled to discover that the triangle units left behind by the laser cutter were the same as the Penrose Fat Rhomb.
