ABSTRACT:
A sculpture is constructed by defining a seed having a plurality of algebraic in which the sum (M) of the orders of the surfaces is five or greater and having a plurality of edges at the intersection of the surfaces. The seed is physically modeled and the edges of the seed model are extended into space in accordance with the algebraic equations that define them. All intersection points of the edge extensions are determined and at least one rod is extended from the seed model along at least one of the edge extensions for a predetermined distance. Then, a unique algebraic adjoint surface having a maximal order of M-4 and including all of the intersection points is determined and physically modeled. The combination of the seed, at least one rod and the adjoint surface model comprises the sculpture.
