Rhombic Dodecahedron & RD Tesseract Tessers
Project type
sculpture
Date
2012
Location
Asheville, NC
These shapes can also be described as Zome 4's. What makes the latter unique is that I took the principles of my first tesseract sculpture and applied them to the basic rhombic dodecahedron, meaning I built a smaller one inside the larger one and attached the two using diagonals. I was thinking that if the tesseract is a hypercube and the rhombic dodecahedron is a also hypercube, what happens when I combine the two. Hypercube squared! Fun Fact about these shapes is that they are comprised of twelve identical diamonds whose long diagonal and short diagonal are in the golden ratio, phi, and they assemble perfectly to create this volume!
