Artist, Weaver, Maker of geometric forms, and happy recreational Studier of math, science, and other things to feed my mind.

New Blog Post: Starts with woven installations, into geometric art work, and onto my Artist Residency at Planet, an aerospace Earth-imaging company. Science + art = a happy me! https://t.co/FipurRNE5W

Got my table ready for the Craneway Craft Fair going on Saturday and Sunday, from 10a-5p! One of over 200 vendors, so happy to be part of it again! I'm up in front with a beautiful view of the Bay and so happy to be out sharing my books again!! #cranewaycraft

The Rhind Papyrus is one of the most famous mathematical artefacts. It was written around 1550 BCE in ancient Egypt, and includes 84 problems about multiplication, division, fractions, and geometry. https://t.co/8R2AWXYwr7

Artist Stacy Speyer (@cubesandthings) began making a series of geometric metal sculptures as an artist-in-residence at the @Exploratorium. #MathAtSFO

[SFO Museum @SFOMuseum]

Speyer created these three polyhedra—a dodecahedron, a hexahedron, and a rhombic triacontahedron, by bending the corners (vertices), bolting them to the edges of each polyhedron, and leaving the faces open. #MathAtSFO

[SFO Museum @SFOMuseum]

The Greek term combines ‘poly’ meaning many and ‘hedra’ for faces or sides; hence, polyhedra are three-dimensional shapes made of polygon faces joined at the edges and corners. #MathAtSFO

[SFO Museum @SFOMuseum]

The light, elegant aesthetic of these sculptures shows the power of mathematical ideas: with only a minimal amount of material, the unique character of a polyhedron comes to light. #MathAtSFO

If you find yourself in terminal 2 of SFO airport between now and May 2022, you can see two of my sculptures at an exhibit co-curated by Cliff Stoll! @SFOMuseum

Some beautiful polyhedra by @cubesandthings.

Wow. Just...wow.

Need B&W graphics for my polyhedra book so it's not so expensive on Amazon. Brightly colored polyhedra grayscaled look dark, so I've decided to make my own uniform polyhedra, like this small rhombidodecahedron. Using data from this great site: https://t.co/fsjwQlGPVT.

n-armed spiral tilings of trapezoids based on regular n-gons. When n = 4 the trapezoid becomes a rectangle. Note that n = 5 is unique in allowing two distinct ways of matching adjacent scaled tiles.
