The inspiration for my final Welding project with artist/architect Dee Briggs was a theoretical form called a Calabi-Yau Manifold, which according to the superstring theory represents spacetime in 6 dimensions. Though I admittedly do not really understand the concept, let alone the mathematics, what interested me the most about the form was challenge of representing 6 dimensions in a 3 dimensional world. To accomplish this, I developed an equilateral triangle with curved sides as a base component, and interlocked 6 of these one by one by to flesh out the space of the sculpture. I think of it as an analog generative form.
