Twisted Icosahedron Flat & Formed

Regular price $300.00

The Twisted Icosahedron is constructed of 20 hexagons. The ball is surprisingly angular compared to the patterned formed by the tiling.

The Slide Together Polyhedra series were made by combining the instructions of geometers, Adam Williamson and George Heart. They are drawn with compass and straight edge and decorated with white ink laid out with vintage ruling compasses and ruling pens. The edges are gilt in 24k gold leaf.

Each polyhedra comes with its own unframed 16"x9" 2D tiling view equivalent also drawing with compass and straight edge decorated with black ink laid out with vintage ruling compasses and ruling pens. To make the polyhedra, I first had to create a drawing just like this on the black card and cut it out to create the faces along hard to see pencil lines. The paper is backed with a some mat board so that it can technically be rested on and easel sans frame without folding over. 

Hand made product: please allow for evidences of the artistic process and the possibility of the black paper fading over time if exposed to sunlight though they did hang in a window for a few months for an art show and did well.

Stemware not included.

Made in 2023
