I am very interested in defining movement in space over time to create the building blocks of new forms and ideas.

For this sculpture, I began observing sequences by keying points on the physical model of the oloid quartet as it rolled. Then, in 3-d motion software and with the aid of my thesis advisor, one point on a single oloid rolling forward was extracted into a solid motion-form. That pathway had compound curves and peaks and valleys which I could not have imagined by mere observation. And finally, multiple ribs on a pair in an oloid quartet were defined as they moved along the full circuit of the mobius movement. For this, key arcs were delineated along the outermost edge of one oloid separated by a space until the entire profile was specified. The ribs of motion that formed during one cycle were then extruded into solids, 3-D printed and reassembled into a moving sculpture with its own unique visual properties.
