TAILIEUCHUNG - Eightfold Way: The Sculpture

Pablo Picasso’s first piece titled Head of a Woman was slightly larger than one foot high and later served as the inspiration for the monumen- tal sculpture at Princeton. This earlier work was constructed of cutout and folded sheet metal that was painted. Carl Nesjar, a Norwegian artist, agreed to serve as intermediary with Picasso in the negotiations that would lead to the acquisition of a major sculpture for the Putnam Memorial Collection. Armed with site plans, in situ photographs of a composition-board mockup, and a letter of request from President Goheen, Nesjar visited Picasso at this home in the South of France in November 1969 and received his. | The Eightfold Way MSRI Publications Volume 35 1998 Eightfold Way The Sculpture HELAMAN FERGUSON WITH CLAIRE FERGUSON Abstract. This article covers some of my thinking while developing The Eightfold Way and some of the physical processes I used in creating it. The sequence of topics followed is My View Ramanujan-Michelangelo Geometry Topology Counting-Philosophy Geometry Center-MSRI Two Stones Athena-Escher Robot-Stewart platform The pictures the text and the references can all be read independently of each other. Wheeled wheels of processes and thoughts form a sort of multidimensional torus embedded in our time and space. In this paper we survey a few of these satellites and their orbits about the sculpture called The Eightfold Way. This amounts to making explicit part of the mathematical environment when I finished this sculpture. I intend no mysticism here only some shared furnishings of our minds and hearts shared cultivation of our neuron and capillary landscapes. A typical Helaman sculpture has layers of titles ranging from a colloquial expression such as eightfold way at the top to precise mathematical symbols and syntax such as x3y y3z z3x 0 deeper down. The last equation describes the algebraic surface of Klein that inspired this sculpture. For some reason maybe because there was going to be a sculpture at MSRI maybe not at about the end of May 1992 a lot of email correspondence on the Klein surface began among Thurston Asimov Osserman Brock Gross Sibley Kuperberg Bumby Clemens Hirbawi Mess Grayson Adler Elkies Riera to list a few. The rich mathematical folklore that exploded via the internet led eventually to the publication of this book. 133 134 HELAMAN AND CLAIRE FERGUSON Dr. John Slorp President of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design once observed The Eightfold Way is the perfect biomorphic form it is sensuous and intelligent at the same time. But for most people educated in traditional schools mathematics comes across as anything but sensuous. My
