Interaction



Interaction can be read as a bit of crochet or a Feynman diagram representing the absorption of a photon. It seems crochet and Feynman diagrams (classical diagrams that are meant to be probabilistically superimposed to represent quantum reality) obey the same mathematical rules. This work is on view in Mathematically Inclined from March 8 through May 5, 2013 at the Takoma Park Community Center in Takoma Park, MD.

Progression



This sculpture is on view in Mathematically Inclined at the Takoma Park Community Center from March 8 through May 5, 2013. This work is a figure-eight coil of galvanized steel wire in the process of being converted into a walking chain stitch.

Derivation



This sculpture is on view in Mathematically Inclined at the Takoma Park Community Center from March 8 through May 5, 2013. The round coil of wire at the top has been converted below into the type of figure-eight coil used in zip crochet.
