“Orbiting Earth in the spaceship, I saw how beautiful our planet is. People, let us preserve and increase this beauty, not destroy it!” — Yuri Gagarin, April 12, 1961 🧑‍🚀 What a night at the Griffith Observatory for Yuri’s Night. @yurisnight Exhibiting “Generations” beneath that iconic dome, surrounded by people who look up and wonder, felt deeply right. Yuri’s Night exists to celebrate the moment humanity first slipped the bonds of Earth and gazed back at her beauty. That is exactly the spirit Mathscaper tries to carry into every piece we make: awe, curiosity, and reverence for the patterns and forms that hold the universe together. A full heart of gratitude tonight. To Loretta Whitesides, thank you for building this community and for inviting us in. To Craig Baerwaldt, thank you for making the introduction that made this night possible. And to every voice who took the stage, astronaut Ron Garan, cinematographer and polar orbit astronaut Jannicke Mikkelsen, spaceflight historian Amy Shira Teitel, Overview Effect author Frank White, commercial astronauts Chris Huie, Andy Sadhwani, and Ron Rosano, musician Jason Achilles, performer Bonnie Gordon, actors Tim Russ and Nadine Nicole, Star Trek legacy keeper Rod Roddenberry, and every ambassador and volunteer who gave the day its energy. Thank you. You reminded us why this work matters. Now we are off to Space Symposium in Colorado Springs. Honestly, we could not be more in our element. We love this stuff. To space, to beauty, to all of us who cannot stop looking up. @yurisnight @griffithobservatory #YurisNight #YurisNight25 #Mathscaper #Generations #GriffithObservatory SpaceArt MathArt OverviewEffect SpaceSymposium LookUp

Love Transceiver glowing at Pioneer Courthouse Square ✨ This sculpture is built from a stellated cube octahedron—geometry found in nature, cells, and connection itself. Every angle is a reminder that we are designed to receive and transmit love. So grateful to share this piece with Portland during the magic of winter light, right in the heart of the city. If you’re nearby, come stand inside the geometry and feel it for yourself. Thank you @pdxwinterlight for holding space for art, light, and collective wonder. 💙 #Mathscaper #LoveTransceiver #PDXWinterLight #PortlandArt #LightArt SacredGeometry PublicArt GeometryOfLove

Golf ball markers from out of this world… literally. So exciting to see meet someone who shares our affinity for exceptional craftsmanship!

Step inside and feel the love. ❤️ 📻 @portlandwinterlightfestival Feb 6-14th! #mathart #festivalart #ledart #sculpture

Stuck in a federal building. “Love Transceiver” is still locked up in a federal building waiting with the rest of the country, for the government to get funded. 🤦‍♂️ This shutdown has cost us thousands in flights and we are now in danger of missing other shows, costing us thousands more. 😭 Waiting for our government to function feels a bit hopeless. I’m grateful to the @fordlibrarymuseum and @artprize for good communication through the process. But I don’t know if I can do this ever again. #shutdown #governmentshutdown #artist #artprize

3D Julia Set sculpture, “Hurricane Julia” A nod to the mathematician, Gaston Julia. Patterns of recursion—etched into birch. 🌳 This piece was sculpted by CNC router, then hand-finished to reveal the layered rhythm within the layers of the wood veneers. I’m fascinated by how mathematics manifests as beauty in nature—how spirals, waves, and self-similarity are not just equations, but living forms. This artwork is inspired by fractal geometry—the repeating patterns that appear in everything from ferns to galaxies. Each curve in this piece is a record of recursion, a meditation on how simple rules can generate infinite complexity. Sculpted in birch, revealed through code and carving. A meeting of algorithm and organic form. — @mathscaper Hashtags: #mathart #fractalart #cncart #woodsculpture #sacredgeometry #digitalcraft #generativeart #birchwood #artandscience #algorithmicart #natureinspired #geometricart #makersart #artofgeometry

While our art is locked up in a federal building, The Gerald Ford Presidential Library and Museum, I’m remembering to just breathe. Here is “Generations” which reminds me what my late father-in-law would say at a time like this. “Just breathe.” Oh and it is my son’s birthday today! #artprize #mathart #generations #justbreathe #governmentshutdown

✨ What an honor to share Love Transceiver at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum as part of @artprize . ✨ @fordlibrarymuseum This piece has been such a journey—hundreds of hours, countless collaborations, and now it’s alive in a space filled with history and community. I want to give my deepest thanks to @artprize for making this platform possible, and to the incredible staff at the Gerald R. Ford Museum for welcoming my work so warmly. A very special thank you goes to @dansholt and @jeffekdom whose generosity, expertise, and friendship made the install, lighting, and electronics come together seamlessly. Couldn’t have done it without you both. I’ll be sharing lots of behind-the-scenes clips and moments from the crowd soon—this is just the beginning. 💡💜 If you have visited this piece and would like to share, please tag us and let us know something about your experience. Remember, we are all love transceivers setup to receive and transmit love. 📡❤️♾️ #LoveTransceiver #ArtPrize2025 #SacredGeometry #LightArt #artprize #mathart #scienceart #sculpture #plywoodart #geometry #geometricart #rainbow #cymatics #cymaticart #resonance #buckminsterfuller
