This 3D-printed sculpture is textured
with a pattern of "thorns" along its surface. The
underlying structure has octahedral symmetry and derives
from an earlier wood sculpture of mine, called Dragonflies, so
it is related to the third stellation of the rhombic
dodecahedron.
The pattern of thorns is designed
to give it an organic feeling, despite its overall
geometric structure.
You can see straight through the
center along any of the four 3-fold axes.
The above video gives a good sense of its structure.
