Geometrical designs
I like shapes.
A sort of "inverted" dodecahedron invented by Bathsheba Quin. Faces are offset and given a 72 degree twist. Added some fun patterns for a semi translucent effect. Computer just about fried itself when trying to render this.
Five interlocked tetrahedra. Neat fact, their points describe a dodecahedron. I printed this in clear resin and have it sitting on my shelf. Such a mesmerising object.
I found this as a 2d pattern on a picture of some mosque decor. I found it captivating how the interaction between simple zig-zag lines made stars and hexagons appear in the negative space and wanted to see what it would look like as a 3d object.
as an even further challenge I decided to wrap the now 3d mosque decor around a cylinder goal being to plan the pattern so that it would wrap seamlessly. Decided to turn the result to a mechanical vape concept.
"532 sphere" (a sphere intersected with 15 planes). It can also be imagined as an inflated dodecahedron where each face is split from corner to opposing edge.
Exploring curves as a result of twisting lines. They describe a hyperbolic paraboloid if you want to get technical. I made it into a coffee table concept
Slight variation on the previous concept. Here the inside corner is cut away to reveal a perfectly level square hole "floating" half way between floor and table top. I find it an intriguing use of negative space.
A pattern I found a 2d version of. I cleaned it up and made a 3d version. They are actually two interlocking but not touching sheets.
A rounded 3rd order Hilbert curve. A space filling fractal. Most of these variations are a curve with end points. I made sure to make mine a loop. Bit of a headscratcher to build.
