Pseudodeca

Pseudodeca

After a very long fallow period, a flurry of ideas yesterday and today resulted in this six unit construction, which looks at first glance like a dodecahedron. 

Irrico (2016)

I was working on an old piece called “Irrico” (meaning Irregular Icosahedron), and I found that I could easily turn the units inside out to produce a new figure.

Assia joined the fun and found a way to eliminate lots of creases to give a much cleaner and slightly puzzling shape (yellow model).

The unit and connection is shown. Based on a standard diamond base, it’s very easy to fold. Please try to make one!
