Alexander's Horned Sphere
A fractal, composed of linked steel loops of descending diameter and rod thickness. This sculpture has 5 levels of loops (horns), and is only a subset of the true infinitely Horned Sphere.
The Alexander's Horned Sphere is homeomorphic with the ball (a solid sphere), and has the same boundary as a sphere. This means that it can be continuously deformed (in the 4th dimension) into a solid sphere. Unlike a standard sphere, however, the surface is not simply connected. See mathworld.wolfram.com and math.ohio-state.edu
The Horned Sphere now resides in Newton, MA.
