The Shape of Space

Al Held plays with the shape of space and is not shy about explicitly incorporating mathematical forms with in his artwork. Held began as an Abstract Expressionist and taught at Yale University for decades.

In fact, Held felt that his artwork explores "spatial conundrums...." the juxtaposition of spatial entities intersecting in three-dimensional space represented on a two-dimensional plane. A conundrum, indeed.

For similar problems in mathematics, search for "toroidal space."
