Happy to share art and math play

Lately I've been up to my ears in pattern block inspired forms. Been enlarging them for boxes, using their interior spaces & fractally decorating. The Jaffe Center has slipped me into their November schedule to teach a one session evening class with these forms.

Is there any reason we would even believe anything that they call evidence?
We had our first brush with an autumn frost just last night. Suspecting it would be so, I took some photos of some end of season blooms. Glad to have these.
What a fun idea!
Also, tangrams made from folded paper have a satisfying feel to them youtu.be/-QCQgWn6K1k?...
I want to know, do you make a plan so that he can stay on your lap for hours? Do you read, nap, text?
Sam, if you want to chat I have soooo many projects I could talk to you about. A big part of what I do these days is work with artists on creating solid forms. also, have written many posts that are math/art. Heres a good one about building solid forms

Making Blocks from Paper
There’s a rabbit hole of of making 3D shapes that I’ve stumbled into… This week I have the good fortune of being able to talk to people, via zoom, at the German Mathematical Socie…

Been working on some fun cubes this week. Taking patterns I've created then using them on cubes that are sliced in ways that allow them to interact. Because the patterns I make are inspired by so many different sources I think of them as Diversity Cubes. Nice box too.

Oh love seeing a photo of Mr and Mrs Triangle!
By the way, I'm enjoying the ALT text feature of Bluesky. It lets me play around with descriptions.
I keep forgetting to use good hash tags. This one should have probably been tagged as #mathart and #geometry. I've never been much good at hashtags. Would appreciate any advice.
Another way to fill the rhombic dodecahedron happens to be the convex hull of a compound of an octahedron cube.

#convexhull
#polyhedron
#compoundpolyhedra
#rhombicdodecahedron
#cube
#octahedron
Doing it the way you’ve done it shows up the tension between math and material: the thickness of the paper, which is slight, still makes the last folded unit fit imprecisely.
Nice! I’m going back through some twitter archives and am seeing rhombic dodecahedron things going on around then… I missed mic of it at the time, as I think I just starting to get to know you all.
In a day or two I'll be posting a completely different construction I've made for filling it.
Right, I like that we are doing the inverse of each other with same shape...you are filling up space with the rhombic dodecahedron, and I'm filling up the space within it.
Unlike @davidkbutler.bsky.social , who fills up space with #rhombicdodecahedrons, I've been filling up the space within this shape. A hollow cube and a deconstructed cube work just fine to fill it. Blog post coming soon. I hope.
So many people sent me yesterday’s NYT article on blossom fold that I couldn’t resist making one. Very pretty in three dimensions
I asked if 1 is an odd number, and it told me that "Yes, the number one is considered an odd number." Seems like a basic contradiction of the first fact it offered. Am I missing something?
Unintentionally I typed a 3 into the my search bar, so, naturally, AI defined it for me. It started with "AI Overview
The number 3 is a fundamental number with various mathematical, cultural, and symbolic meanings. It is the third smallest prime number, and the first odd prime number" So then...
So fun! Thank you for these images and links

On my own this evening, this was about a half hour of work. We're gonna crush this thing!
