I am a freelance mathematical sculptor/designer, retired now from a position of research professor in the engineering school at Stony Brook University. Over 100 of my sculptures are on public display around the world, many at major universities. I'm always looking for interesting sculpture, lecture, and workshop opportunities. Invite me! I spent four years as a co-founder of the Museum of Mathematics in NY City, conceiving and designing its major exhibits. Yes, I am related to (my daughter) Vi Hart. An enormous amount of my work is freely available on my web pages. There are no ads, so if you would like to support my mission of showing the world that math is cool, please feel free to make a donation:

Over several months (during covid) I created a portfolio of my work on Instagram, but on balance I find social media to be a great harm to society, so I do not keep it current or check messages there. However it is the best way to get a quick overview of my artwork. You might enjoy the many images and videos:
