Big knot, 11_34, the Conway knot as a ribbon.

This is a plaque 30cm by 20cm by 8cm. It is a 3D version of the center knot in the Three Knots drawing above. It is cast in plaster. It can be cast in almost any material

Smooth Slice, a counter offering.

I reached out to American mathematician Lisa Piccirillo, to ask her to talk to me about her solution to the long standing problem of the Conway knot. I emailed her two images and asked her for a zoom session. I did not hear back from her. Her solution states that knot 11_34, the Conway knot, is not smooth slice. (Don’t ask!!) I decided to insert a smooth slice into her solution. My slice is in no way mathematical, it is purely humorous.
