progress_new geometries



This image is the result of subtle manipulations with each point (out of eight) on an isoparm. I was trying to construct a well-formed surface that could serve as the isolated element within a larger tile. My intention was to create a surface that was not tremendously complex, so as to inform new geometries for a more complex pattern. Hopefully this will lend itself to some interesting manipulations of line and surface.

Less complexity is good, especially when jumping from surface to solid. The initial surface is highlighted in white; I found the residual space between the "joints" to be especially interesting.
