She began to follow SciAm writer/amateur mathematician Martin Gardner's column, rushing to devour the magazine before her son (who had the subscription).

I just returned from my first Society of Engineering Science conference in Minneapolis, and I had a great time!
My student presented recent work on #tessellations of #origami patterns called "flashers". Flashers can fold a polygonal sheet of material into a spirally-wrapped cylinder. I've been working with these patterns for a while, and this work showed that it's possible to tile the plane with flashers.
Here's an example of a hexagonal tiling.

Some real cool #tessellations on display in the LGA terminal. How are the tiles tessellating?

Self-repeating pattern D9X9_147rc5 based on a 9-square grid, originally drawn out with pencil and paper, then digitized with Adobe Illustrator and enhanced with Photoshop. A self-repeating pattern has an interchangeable fore and background. #surfacepatterndesign #geometricart #geometricpatterns #adobeillustrator #photoshop #symmetry #selfrepeat #patterns #tessellations #patternsmith #artistsonmastodon
A couple more #tessellations I made today

Stay tuned for my #linocut of amateur #mathematician Marjorie Rice & her #pentagonalTiling work, Escher-like patterns & #tessellations. This is also a story about not gate-keeping & a mathematician who was able to recognize the accuracy of the unusual work of an outsider. Lastly it’s a story of how thinking like an artist can sometimes give new insights in science and math.

Self-repeating pattern D9X9_092v2 based on a 9-square grid, originally drawn out with pencil and paper, then digitized with Adobe Illustrator and enhanced with Photoshop. This version interlaces the split original pattern. #surfacepatterndesign #geometricart #geometricpatterns #adobeillustrator #photoshop #symmetry #selfrepeat #patterns #patternsmith #tessellations #interlacing #visualart
Self-repeating pattern D9X9_087v2 based on a 9-square grid, originally drawn out with pencil and paper, then digitized with Adobe Illustrator and enhanced with Photoshop. This version combines four tessellations of the original pattern demonstrating the fractal nature of square repeats based on 90° angles. #surfacepatterndesign #geometricart #geometricpatterns #adobeillustrator #photoshop #symmetry #selfrepeat #patterns #tessellations #fractals #patternsmith #artistsonmastodon #visualart
Self-repeating pattern D9X9_081v4 based on a 9-square grid, originally drawn out with pencil and paper, then digitized with Adobe Illustrator and enhanced with Photoshop. A self-repeating pattern has identical interchangeable parts. This one adds interlaced centers as a decorative touch. #surfacepatterndesign #geometricart #geometricpatterns #adobeillustrator #photoshop #symmetry #selfrepeat #patterns #tessellations #patternsmith #artistsonmastodon #interlacing #visualart
