Topology Meets Art

Topology and art definitely go hand in hand, though it may not seem obvious at first. Mathematical patterns underlie our universe, so it should be no surprise that they underlie our art as well. I found this awesome site with many unique abstract sculptures derived from areas of math including knot theory and surface geometry. The intricate abstract art below is a small sample from from Carlo H. Séquin.
