Resume
Statement:
My mathematical training and research investigated the qualitative aspects of structured sets. So I have been envisioning shapes of various dimensions all my life--carving, so to speak, but only in my mind. When I retired as Professor of Mathematics from the University of Oregon in the March 2000, I gravitated to sculpting three-dimensional shapes in stone, metal, and wood. I try to create simple, yet essential, forms that engage viewers. My goal is not to challenge, puzzle or educate, but rather to relax, refresh, and recharge the viewer. I try to partition the form's surface into distinct regions whose shapes are so smooth that each can be evolved from any of its portions, and I try to make the complete form regulate the assembly of these smooth regions along crisp shared edges. This is a weak version of the holographic principle in eastern medicine and thought: the whole in every part and the parts organized by the whole.
