The Geometry of Crop Circles

In case you don't know what crop circles are... You go to bed and the wheat fields are in perfect condition... The next morning, you wake up and find that someone or something (Extra-Terrestrial??) has mashed down huge patches of the wheat in the form of huge circles.

Program Director

Prior to his current position, Christopher Tse had successfully applied his knowledge of polymer science in developing disposable and peelable wall paint. This patent pending invention provides a temporary wall transformation without damaging the existing wall finishing. The highest priority in his science research is to develop eco-friendly and marketable products.

In art, Christopher is accomplished in the use of a wide variety of sculptural techniques and materials, including ceramics, wood, textiles and mixed-media and found object art. His “two-dimensional” art skills include drawing and watercolor. He has also worked in video installation. His work is smart, funny, and extremely well-crafted. Christopher has also created a number of ambitious sewn projects, including “art garments” as well as functional fashion designs.

For the last three years, Christopher's has been a teaching assistance in fine art and engineering programs at San Jose State University. He has also served as a Para-educator for 4th and 5th grades at the Hayward Unified School District. This summer, he has joined the City of Sunnyvale as Pottery Art instructor for their Summer Express Program.
