Clayton Shonkwiler is a mathematician and artist based in Colorado, USA. He is committed to using geometry to understand the world. In practice this means understanding spaces of all objects satisfying certain constraints, be they polygonal models of ring polymers or idealized signal detectors. It also means visualizing high-dimensional and nonlinear spaces as intuitively as possible.
