I am interested in Persian geometric art and its historical methods of construction, which I explore using the computer software Geometer's Sketchpad. I then create digital artworks from these geometric constructions primarily using the computer software PaintShopPro.
Tray of Love is an artwork based on a design in the class of
Decagram Interlocking Star Polygons. The common element for the
course of study in this class is a special ten-pointed star
polygon. This special
concave polygon, which is called a decagram for convenience, is
the dominant geometric shape of a series of polyhedral
tessellations that all consist of the same common motifs. The
decagram can be created through the rotation of two concentric
congruent regular pentagons.
