Generative sculptures created by evolutionary algorithm under the guidance of the artist. 

Use of the standard symmetry operations of rotation, translation, scaling and reflection in the creation of patterns and tilings is one of the most ancient decorative methods. While repeated application of symmetry operations leave a shape unchanged from an aesthetic standpoint, interleaving these operations with symmetry-breaking transformations can rapidly lead to visually complex forms. In previous studies two dimensional coordinate transforms such as polar, inverse polar, and circle inversion were used exclusively as the symmetry breaking operations. In to make sculptures those ideas are extended into three dimensions yielding virtual sculptures as which can be printed.
