My works are all an investigation into mathematical form using artistic means. I beleive that the intuitive and playful aspects of art expression have led to many discoveries otherwise unobtainable by traditional means.
This is a relatively simple geometric form . It is composed of elements of pntagonal structure. Since the flat diamond shapes will not fit together as a flat surface the triacontahedron shape deforms them into a saddle shape. I used an old pattern of mine to cover the surface.
These two constructs are actually realizations of Cantor diagrams in 3 dimensions. Every other unit is removed and the one shape is the negative of the other.
This piece is comprised of interlocking wood planes in the form of
a fractal tetrahedron derived from cubic forms
placed on edge. I have long been constructing images of this sort.
I use cubes as sort of pixels to define space. As cubes are
naturally space filling an infinite number of space constructs are
available.
