Title: Roman Surface
Artist and Designer: Mark Shoulson
Technique: Crochet

Artist’Äôs Description: Crocheted in three colors, from the center out. This was crocheted as three mutually orthogonal, mutually intersecting discs of fabric, with true self-intersection, and then stitched together on the outside (with black yarn, for clarity). Starting at the triple-point makes it easier to cover that strange spot, as it gets ’Äúcut out’Äù by the small starting circles of the discs. Stuffed to show structure.
It ought to be possible (if difficult) to knit a Roman Surface seamlessly (except at the top and bottom) using the same method as the seamless cross-cap, and the ’Äúcross-handle’Äù Klein bottle. I haven’Äôt attempted this yet.
