"Spirolateral_{6}^{1,3,4} ," by Mary Candace Williams. Quilt copyright 2005 Mary Candace Williams; design is copyright Robert Krawczyk; photograph by Robert Fathauer.The challenge of doing a quilt that has only rotational symmetry and uncommon angles lies in a technique called partial seaming. The printed fabric has a lot of pursuit curves overlaide on top of one another and shows a lot of contrast with the black of the spirolateral.

"Poincare," by Mary Candace Williams. Quilt copyright 2005 Mary Candace Williams; photograph by Robert Fathauer.This is a hyperbolic design so it is as if a sphere was mapped onto a plane. The printed fabric has distorted spheres. This quilt is unusual in that it is pieced from the outside to the center.

"Symmetry Mobius," by Mary Candace Williams; photograph by Annette Emerson.In order to keep the mobius as a band, I used only the eleven symmetries that are not based on a hexagon. The fabric was chosen for its mathematical content. -- Mary Candace Williams

"(10,3)-a Twice," by George Hart, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY (2008)Nylon (selective laser sintering), 3.5” x 3.5” x 3.5”. "This is a sculptural interpretation, made by selective laser sintering, of two copies of the (10,3)-a lattice. Modern layered fabrication processes allow the construction of two interlocked components which are free to move slightly relative to each other, within the constraints of their being linked. The two copies are congruent, though mirror images. Each interpenetrates the tunnels of the other in a surprisingly complex manner. The 5x5x5 selection from the infinite lattice was made in such a way that the sculpture can stand vertically on a corner.
