Being Interdisciplinary feels like practicing non-attachment. Different disciplines come in & out of focus in waves, each a whole world. Engaging with philosophy gives access to different ontologies than engaging in neuroscience or AI. This helps us evaluate each field from within & outside itself.

The image shows the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt on display on the National Mall in Washington D.C. in October 1996. This particular display, from October 11-13, 1996, was the last time the entire quilt was shown in its entirety, covering the vast expanse of the National Mall from the Washington Monument towards the U.S. Capitol. It featured over 40,000 panels and drew approximately 1.2 million visitors.

And the completed Ron Resch Barbell tessellation. First try, but seeing it emerge from the folds was neat. Ron Resch had beautiful ideas about tessellations and architecture, making amazing contributions through his explorations. An artist unafraid of math or computers.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

In progress. Pre-creased paper is like a sandbox of endless possibilities. Tessellations use squares or triangles as starting points. Bristol board makes surprisingly sturdy forms. I'll keep working with thicker papers.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
