I’m delighted to announce the publication of my book: MAKING AND BREAKING RULES: Algorithmic Forms and Tactile Processes - A Techoceramist’s Adventures with Mathematical Thinking.
It’s an artist’s process book, though I tried to put as much relevant technical information in it about the math and about 3D printing/ceramic 3D printing as possible. There are also musings about cross-disciplinary collaboration, the language of art and math, the tradition of craft in the digital age, and about rule-based systems. Lots of references are included for those who would like to dig deeper and there is also a selection of rule-based pieces I’ve made in the past few years.
The online version of the book is available now through Slip Rabbit for flipping through or as a series of free downloads. If you would like to reserve your physical printed copy, a beautifully produced 150-page volume by Quality Press, Georgetown, please get in touch. Sales of the book will begin in my online shop later this spring.
