Slices through “Minimal Trefoil” 50%10%23%30% 45%5%20%27% 35%2%15%25%
13
u One thick slice thru sculpture, from which Brent can cut boards and assemble a rough shape. u Traces represent: top and bottom, as well as cuts at 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 of one board. Profiled Slice through “Heptoroid”
14
Emergence of the “Heptoroid” (1) Assembly of the precut boards
