The Geometry Practice

“Geometry will draw the soul toward truth and create the spirit of philosophy.”

Plato · Republic VII

Polyhedral compounds and geometric form studies using phi golden ratio and classical plane constructions. My math and geometry studies opened new insights into how I see the world. The great pyramid constants and improbabilities. Squaring the circle and Heptadecagon studies. All drawings using compass and straightedge only.

The Films

Timelapse constructions — hours of drawing compressed into seconds — and rotation studies of the finished forms.

The Great Rhombicosidodecahedron — twenty hours of drawing, in sixty seconds.
Geometry Journal — Superclip — a timelapse montage across the constructions.
Compound of Five Cubes — in the hand — the finished compound, turned.
Geometry Journal — Stills — plates from the working journals.
Inside the Sketchbook — Great Pyramid studies and moon phases.

Questions about the constructions?

Ask about any figure, or the method behind it.
