摘要：The sculptor discusses his use of spline approximations of minimal surfaces, most notably hyperbolic paraboloid
saddles (hypars), as well as other surfaces that suggest skin stretched over a frame of three-dimensional curves. These
are part of a larger category of primarily ruled surfaces, which he has dubbed "taut skin” surfaces that account for his
introducing organic character into recent sculptures. He also discusses the role of NURBS geometry and the stresses
inherent in that geometry in enabling these sculptures and assesses the strengths and weaknesses of NURBS for
creating this work.
