Statement

Fascinated by the mystery and beauty of nature, and in particular by its mathematical and geometrical characteristics, I try to use these concepts to show my sensitivity and my inner questions through the creation of objects which demonstrate these concepts. My preferred tools are fractal art, amazing polyhedrons, geodesic structures as well as tensegrity. In this project, I simply explore the beauty of simple polyhedrons and the possibility to imbricate them.

Rhombidod

18.0 x 18.0 x 18.0 cm

Metal tubes, metal tips, transparent plastic sheet, fishing lines

2022

My wish is to demonstrate the beauty of basic polyhedrons and explore possibilities to assembly them together. The specificity of this object is that I build a dodecahedron inside a rhombicosidodecahedron rhombicosidodecahedron using only one size of metal tubes.
