New forms / layered fields

Four new field sculptures.

More volume, more layers, more to explore.
Open a form and turn it over.

A

Flux core

A field with a body.

B

Toroidal weave

A dense braid around an open center.

C

Vortex

Swept surfaces. A layered interior.

D

Knot core

One continuous, interlocking body.

Flux core: Thick nested ribbons surround a ribbed warm core. Fine filaments extend the field beyond the solid layers, preserving the depth and color of the dipole direction.

Toroidal weave: Two counterwound families weave around a warm toroidal core. Thick colored strands, over-and-under crossings, and fine surface fibers give the loop its weight.

Vortex: Twelve substantial outer ribbons twist around six warm inner ribbons and a fluted core. The close waist and swept shoulders make a compact, dimensional field sculpture.

Knot core: A thick fluted trefoil carries ten braided strands and warm inlays. Its crossings and open spaces make the structure readable as you turn it.
