The Quaste quandary: Recreational Math&Art

Look for the word Quaste in a Duden dictionary, and this is the definition you'll find: "a Quaste is a tassel, or a bushel in English, a coherent bundle of threads. Surprisingly, it is also the name of an algebraic equation designed by the MFO Imaginary team. Jean Constant explores this unconventional surface from an artistic perspective, creating 25 original artworks celebrating the connection between geometry and art. Guided by the facetious spirit of the original engineers, the work evokes abstract sculptures and fascinating objects of a new, uncommon nature. For the more adventurous, the equations are included at the end of the book and the art can be reproduced using the program Surfer.
