"Klein Quartic Quilt" (Eveline Séquin)


3D quilt, 12" diameter, 1993.




Tactile visualization of the group of 24 heptagons on a genus-3 surface, exhibiting 24 of the original 168 symmetries of the Klein group.


"Poincaré FishDish" (Carlo Séquin)


2D print, 16" diameter, 2006.




Visualization of the {7,3} tessellation on the Poincaré model of the hyperbolic plane, using a tiling motif inspired by M.C. Escher.


"Poincaré Lace" (Carlo Séquin)


2D print, 16" diameter, 2006.




Visualization of the {7,3} tessellation on the Poincaré model of the hyperbolic plane, employing interlocking heptagonal clover-leaf knots.


"Ribbon Tetrus" (Carlo Séquin)


Fused deposition model, 4" tall, 2006.




A single ribbon winds around the six arms of a Tetrus, thereby defining this shape (inspired by M.C. Escher's "Bond of Union").
