My work in exhibits

Cloud of White Thoughts, crochet installation, 2014

More about the exhibit Hyperbolic Planes and Sustainable Networks are here

Bellow are some pictures from other exhibits of my work:

New photos and some new works too

 The first one in series for the exhibit in Rīga - my show is included in Rģa2014 - cultural capital of Europe. Currently all these series are in Riga.

Two new pictures of Day and Night in Hyperbolic Space - see dimensions in first post.

Fuzzy - mixed fiber, 60x60x40 cm (approximately)

Manifolds II  

Manifolds II are in memory of Bill Thurston who lost his battle with cancer. I thought it very appropriate to put these works on Treman willow tree in Cornell Plantation who also was killed by cancer.

Manifolds II - 2012, acrylic, wire. Dimensions varies depending how they are displayed. Each are approximately 50x60x20 cm.

The following 7 models are series Manifold I - at the beginning they are all the same shape hyperbolic plane. But unlike ordinary plane  - paper sheet that has limited possibilities of being shaped in a way that prserves its geometry, hyperbolic plane has infinite possibilities of shaping.
